Actually, it's not the user reporting xml add on. My Admincp is intermittently loosing the frameset and only showing main target.


I changed
Code:

if (!is_member_of($user['usergroupid'], 6))  //hides it if user is an Admin
to this
Code:

if (is_member_of($user['usergroupid'], 8))  //shows it only if you have banned the user
IMO that makes more sense to only report people you already banned. Can't accidentally report anyone.

:confused:
Perhaps a stupid question, but where is the log of blocked registration attempts?

admincp/vbstopforumspam.php - thats the log file, you should be able to hit it directly.

I installed earlier today, but have no such PHP file? :confused:

Admincp, menu down side

Penultimate menu, near bottom left Statistics & Logs
Then 4th item in it, vbStopForumSpam Logs

I've had this installed for over a year now. I must say, this has done wonders to cut down my spam registrations. Just looking at my logs about 90% of my registration attempts are spam-related. That's 90% user moderation I don't have to do later.

I reinstalled the product and still cannot see vbStopForumSpam Logs on menu?

The file name says product-vbstopforumspam-3.54.xml

Although I downloaded today, did I somehow get an old version?
=====================

Update:
Now I downloaded the ZIP-file, and got it working.
Thanks you,

it looks like you downloaded the legacy version of the Mod (left for backward compatibility)

Just download the .zip file and everything is in there.

Awesome, thanks for this. Been watching the Stop Forum Spam database for a while and hoping someone would do a good integration with vB.

I'm using the mod now and seems great so far, only one problem is I've blocked a lot of e-mail addresses and domains (.ru, .cn, .cc etc) and the log shows the registration is allowed even tho the registration was blocked (due to banned email address).

So the bot keeps hammering the registration page and I get a flooded log like this:

Anything we can do about this? Perhaps change the order of the spam check to after any other ban conditions.

Add the individual emails (plus IP and username) to stopforumspam.

Blocking entire top level domains, is up to you, but not recommended for an international site. Look at Spammer map and you will see that UK + Germany + USA is worse than Russia + China. Real people do use .ru .cn etc.
