have you put in the other fixes yet in php.ini, class_core.php, socialgroupdiscussion.php and socialgroupmessage.php

MySQL Server has gone away:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gone-away.html

Can be tricky to fix, but it's usually done in your my.cnf. You may need to increase the time out settings from the defaults or any of the many other options suggested at the URL above....then make sure to restart MySQL to load the new configuration. This is definitely a MySQL configuration issue.

I've also noticed a problem where some spammers IPs are listed on the SFS database who are able to register and post. We are still investigating that.

What about the usergroups ID'S and User Id's that are set NOT to be moderated are still being moderated for some odd reason.
I keep having those members post send to moderation and me havong to login to ACP to validate the posts..

Its annoying and defeats the purpose IMHO.

First make a new group based of Users Awaiting Moderation Group then give them permissions to post ie:
Can Post Threads = Yes
Can Reply to Own Threads = Yes
Can Reply to Others' Threads = Yes

Spam O Matic settings
Newbies Manager: Put New User Into Newbies Group? = Yes
Newbies Manager: Newbies Group ID = New group id
Newbies Manager: Trusted/Registered Users Group ID = 2
Newbies Manager: Promotion From Post Count = 9 But you can make this what you want Note: once they hit there 10th post it will move them to group 2 the cron job runs once every hour
Auto-Moderation: Enable = Enabled
Auto-Moderation: Post Action = Moderate Post
Auto-Moderation: Apply Auto-Moderation To Newbies only? = Yes
Auto-Moderation: Minimum Post Count = 1

You don't actually want them to be able to edit their posts. We ran into the situation where a spam account would register post something innocuous (i.e. "High my name is X") edit the post and then put their spam in that way since this mod does not check edited posts, only new posts.

After initial installation was unable to reply to thread, as an administrator, or create a new thread. In both cases the process seemed to hang-up and left me on a blank page (as far as I can tell it was blank as I was in safari).

I have tried disabling just the Akismet service but that did not solve my problem. Any suggestions? I would really like to be able to use your software on our forums at www.empirisoft.com/support.

Thanks!

Hi ForceHSS, what fixes are you talking about? I've tried looking for it on this thread with no results. Thanks for your help

its not on this thread

Akismet wouldn't cause that problem. Either turn on error displaying [below] or try another plugin.

To enable error displaying, create a plugin in the AdminCP on the init_startup hook, paste what's below as the php code, and save.
Then, try to sign up. It should show the error message ontop of the blank page.

Hi ForceHSS, can you help me with the link to the thread?

Thanks

Tell me have you put any of the fixes in yet for 4.2.2

spammers are actually attacking by posting in blog, article, is there any provision to safeguard and get their posts in moderation, this will help make spam o matic more stronger plugin..

Put new users who first join in a new group this is what I do and they don't have blog access

See this post

I'm getting this error when ever I try to create a new thread or post a reply.

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ..../includes/functions_newpost.php(562) : eval()'d code on line 5

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php53/pear') in /home/bonifer/public_html/includes/functions_newpost.php(562) : eval()'d code on line 5

What do I need to do to fix this?

Never mind i got it fixed.

glad you got it fixed helps when you upload the files

Hi ForceHSS, I'm checked again all the fixes suggested by the VBTeam and found the problem. This fix was missing:

1. Add the following line to your config.php under the <?php line:
PHP Code:
define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);


Thank you very much for your time.

Bump

With Spam-O-Matic enabled, nobody can post new threads or messages anymore - they (we) just end up with a blank page.

Turn on error reporting.

Quick question:
Does every user registering on my forum get logged?

I saw in the log: Passed StopForumSpam checks. Sent to vBulletin Registration System.
Means he was no spammer and good for registration?

Yes and Yes

Thank you for the quick reply

Hello, is there a version of this hack that will run on v3.8.4? We're getting constant assaults by spambots for medical and dental sites that it's unbearable. Since I started typing this less than a minute ago, one already registered on my site.

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered several times already (I'm sure it has), but there's over 150 pages of posts to sift through. Thanks!

Yes: [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic for vB 3.8 (StopForumSpam, Akismet, Auto-Moderation and more), it was listed in the similar mod section . . .

Please update for vbb 5, thanks you!

The developer, has said in his other mods, they will not update the mods to vB5 till it stabilizes, and then it is still iffy.

Thanks a lot.

it is usefull

Did you ever get an answer to this? One of my mods accidentally fed a long time member with a lot of posts to spam-o-matic. I would have to guess that since it was weeks ago there is no way to un-do this. If I'm hosed is there at least a way I can remove the member from the database to prevent him from having issues in the future?

In this list of words to be moderated, will it work with combinations of words. There are some single words I don't want it to trigger on but in combination with another word it would make sense to stop it.

Someone please tell them that there site has been down for nearly 18 hours as of this post.

So, once I install and activate this, I am suppose to DISABLE SCANNING vbulletin's regular "Spam Management" under control panel? ACP / Settings / Options / Spam Management

No keep that running

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2457233&postcount=3087" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showp...postcount=3087</a>

I'd love to be able to see a more detailed report on the blocked registrations and banned users. Something that tells me where they came from (IP), when they were blocked, etc. It would provide any actionable data, but it would be nice to have an idea what days/times are being hit the hardest.

I'd love this mod to be able to remove blog posts from spammers. It does a great job of removing everything else.

But what about what is posted at beginning of thread?

"Q. Should I use vBulletin 4's built in Spam Management system?
A. You can do whatever you like, but we recommend disabling it. If you have this enabled and have problems, we won't be able to support you. Spam-O-Matic was built to run standalone from any other Spam prevention modules."

I have kept mine on and every forum I have fixed and no problems. If you need help with the setting of this or this plugin I can help
