Good for you rhody.

For me it did what I described above. And it creates blank pages after sign up.

There is a readme in the zip file
Here s a screenshot how your folder should look like after unzipping.
After uploading you have to use the xml file (highlighted in blue) to install via the ACP

Thank you. Yes I was being stupid. My unzip only unzipped the upload folder...

OK may I say that this is AWESOME so far. Newbies group is a lifesaver. That should put a hitch in their giddyup.

Installed... very2 effective bloking spam, thanks.

I have a question. Last week, I installed this on the Black Sabbath forums here:

http://www.black-sabbath.com/vb

It's working quite well as you can see by looking at the numbers at the bottom of the page. However, take a look at the attached screenshot. It's some spammy posts that got through and were sent to pending. That's good.

However, to "Spam-O-Matic" them, I have to go either into thread and read the post, or I have to go to the user's profile to act on them with this mod. I'd like to be able to act on them from the thread page. You can't, because there's no Spam-O-Matic option from the thread list page.

Can that be added? If you look at my attachment, I think it would be a lot easier to tick the spammy threads, and Spam-O-Matic them together like that. Any thoughts?

You have the option to delete threads as spam on the thread page

Yes, I know THAT. But you can't do the extra bits that Spam-O-Matic does from there. THAT is what I wanted to get at.

I would of given you one that i have that already has this option but your reply seems to be a bit rude no need to put THAT in caps

I honestly didn't intend it to be rude. Don't know why I did that, to be honest. Does seem rude, I apologize for that.

Spam Firewall stops forum spam

Hi, works with vBulletin 5 ?
thanks

No it wont, as a matter of course any MODs for VB4 will not work with VB5, neither will VB2 or VB3

Had to uninstall, Wasn't letting me reply to posts and wasn't letting people register on the forum.

I experienced Filestore malicious redirect on my vBulletin with 2.0.2 version of this Mod. After Mod upgrade to 2.1.2 it is fixed.
Anyone knows why the infection happend? So it dont repeat again?
Thanks

I seriously doubt that the infection was in the mod, you may have got it elsewhere and it was added to this mod somehow.

any idea on when you will allow API keys. I've got a fairly low volume human spammer that this plugin started blocking, but at about a 75% rate or so. I'd like to be able to report is other email addresses and IPs to shut him out of others.

Thanks for this plugin, i am having zero problems with it.

I had the same malware attack on my site. Had to rename the old dir. and create a new one. Re-uploaded all the Vb-core files and edited my config. Now trying to get the plugin's reinstalled. Reloaded this one and I get the error above.

You will need to install the plugin and files again see if that fixes the problem. If not can do a sql for you to run

ForceHHS. Tried to reinstall the files still same error. also uploaded the XML again and had it over write / upgrade. No luck.

Try removing all files then xml then put in a new install if that does not work will do that sql for u later as going to bed now

Ok tried to remove the xml and I get a internal server error.

How to remove Rejected IP ?
1 member email me and he says i am not spammer and then i check IP and user name he is showing in Spam O Matic Logs ?
How i give permission to register again ?

I would check the spam o matic site first as the plugin wont block his ip for no reason

Checked the logs couldn't find anything referring to glow host. If I disable hooks in global would that shut off glow host?

hanful blocked so far.

perhaps i'll do a write up of this mod to help get glowhost some new customers!

thanks guys!

You cant rewrite someone elses code unless they give you their permission sorry site rules

Did you check webmaster email that you have in the config.php as the error will be sent there

Run this from the admincp/Maintenance/Execute SQL Query
Then this after the above query

I think what he meant was writing a review of the mod. :)

Dear Mod creator, Dear Community,

the GlowHost Spam-o-matic is excelent, it helps me much. But im experiencing malicious infection regarding "GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic 2.1.2"

First time i had some lower version of your mod. And when i got filestore72.info malicious redirect when comming to my forum from Google (not directly). Then when i disabled your mod, it started working. So i upgraded to the latest version and after few days filestore redirect is back. So i disale mod, and redirect is away :(

Please any idea how i can debug the cause?! Thank you

You have a virus either on ur forums from being hacked or your own pc

Nothing to do with this add-on. Disabling any mod will flush the datastore and that will appear to banish the malware temporarily. It will be back after a day or two though until you track down and eradicate it.

There are numerous threads at vB.com, vB.org, and several other forums on this malware. It is enabled by poor server and password security, especially file and directory permissions. You need to lock down your server, update to the latest version of vBulletin and any add-ons, and then check all files from your AdminCP Maintenance menu. You need especially to disallow execution of any files in your upload directories (avatars, profile pics, etc.) and delete the entire install directory after every update.

It's also a good idea to ensure that you have password protected the vBulletin Admin at the server level and change all admin passwords to something secure.

djbaxter, you were right, error probably not in this Mod. I will need to check this, but i think i already found quick fix for this redirect. Adding line:
if($_GET['g']=='js') die;
into top of php code of the /misc.php file (more)

Ok ran it. Going to re-enable plugins and see what happens. thanks for the help.

This hope you dont have other tables missing

Would be nice if this deleted all blog posts as well.

Can pm you a custom mod that will do that

Really? You been holding out on us Force. ;)
I been having trouble with blog spam so I wouldn't mind using this.

Started getting this error last few days.
