any ideas why i might be getting double posts of blocked ip's that are the same?

this does ban the ip that is bad so that they cant even tryto register doesnt it?

Hm, yes, I have'nt checked this mod out deeper, but it actually seems that it is resolving all ip's every time someone visit the page. If it is like that, bigger forums will definetively suffer heavy load. Take a look at this one instead, and see if that mod can solve your problems.

Does this or will there be a 3.8.1??

I would like to know this too.

I have had this on for a while, works well only problem I am having is the posts it generates are put in moderation cue, im currently running VB 3.8.1 on a small forum.

Does anyone know why this is happening, other than this works perfect. blocks the spammers and informs use all be it moderated.

is that work with 3.8 0 ?

is this compatible with version 3.8

I am still using it no problem with vB 3.8.1 PL1.

is this still being supported by the developers or has it died.

IF no-one running with it might ahve enough time to take it over and work in it

Also i suggest if its still being supported using the service offered by http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ as they have a black list of web based trouble makers. However with the current forrm of this mod its not compatible

This is still in use on my board no problems.

If you are looking for an alternative, I highly suggest Stop Forum Spam which is working great for VB.

How about 3.8.2? I really liked this....

thank you

i hope the ++++ing drugs spammer will keep away now

Probably only if they are using proxies and most of the time, such spammers don't. Otherwise normal proxycheckers may be unusable. But there's a solution since Tornevall (http://dnsbl.tornevall.org/) are now working together with "StopForumSpam".

Adding opm.tornevall.org to the list of rbl's should hopefully help here. I don't know if this plugin supports bitmasking? Just to lower the risk of false positives.

Almost 20000 spamhosts has been added to the blacklist, since 2009-07-16.

"2009-07-16: Administrative access makes it possible to add own hosts - initiating coorporation with Stop Forum Spam"

Does anyone know if this plugin is compatible with VB4?

The proxychecker itself should be compatible since it's all about resolving ips from blacklists, but it's not sure that the rest of the plugin is (like errormessages etc). I haven't actually tested it myself yet, but I'm working on it. :)

I have installed this on 3.8.4 it didn't break anything so far so I guess we will see how it goes as far as being effective.

I'm trying to update this plugin with TMM-TT's advise. All of a sudden I'm getting bombarded with auto registrations. They post a DivX url and add all kinds of garbage into the profile "Man, ICQ number......". So annoying.

I know this is a strange questions, but has anyone tried this on 4.2? I don't see any good RBL registration blockers for the 4.x series.

Just looking to clear up the database a bit and was wondering if i temp[orary uninstall this mod, does it remove any database tables with it.

If so, what are the specific tables/columns created by this mod?

Thanks!
