Welcome to LAST YEAR :)

I made those code changes into a small plugin:

Note that all of the above is mentioned in the main plugin description above.

It shows up as a box in their UserCP. What pedigree is currently talking about is adding a checkbox to the "delete post as spam" menu to make it simpler.

Do I need to upload your code add on in the AdminCP just like you would any other product? Or What? I have saved the files, I just need to know that tid bit of exactly what to do with them. Also, works fine in 3.8.4? One more, works alright even if moderating new members is turned on? Thanks

That's the first time that I have seen it down since my install. I have my new registrants set to moderation anyway and you have the option in vBSFS to deny until it is back up too. I'm sure as more people use the site, the load increases exponentially.

earth.devppl.com decided to use the remaining 100gb of monthly bandwidth themselves in a denial of service attack against the webserver.

We would have a more stable solution but this service is funded out of our own pockets and ad revenue isnt enough. Unless someone fancies providing a dns round robin system with means to replicate mysql on a live cluster, its going to remain on a single server, with as much optimization as we can provide with the very limited funds available. So far, for a free service, I dont think were running too bad.

Free is hard to beat no matter how you look at it. I'll take what I can get as compared to what I had :) any day of the week.

Why not to prvide a spammer database , which updated on daily bases or weekly bases ?
Thanks ,

@Zi55: real time checks allow you to get matches on new spammers as they are attacking. The vB SFS plugin does cache data locally to avoid the SFS round trip if the spammer is in your local cache.

That being said, a spammer database is available for download here:

Love this. Been using it since May, and it stops 10-15 spammers a day. Only 3 have gotten through since install.

I would guess it is because we updated to vb3.8.4, but I don't see the "sumbit user to StopForumSpam" interface in the admincp when editing a user. Do I need to reinstall the mod? Is this a problem others have had?

Again... LOVE THE MOD!

the current version of the mod does not have a "submit user to SFS" interface. That is a hack to the mod discussed inline within this thread and not a part of the official download.

0.7 (codenamed: unicorn) will have the ability to submit as part of the official download. There is currently not a release date scheduled.

I was able to submit users before without the extra mod. Regardless, I just downloaded it and installed it. Thanks.
