Ok thanks. I took off name recognition and IP as well but this leaves only email as the way to protect the forum. Kind of silly no? I will there was a registration time check to see if it's a bot or not.

Running this on my 4.0.7 board no issues, but want to upgrade to vb 4.1.3- I've read a few vague comments about people having trouble with 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 but they certainly didn't seem conclusive.. Just wondering how many people out there are/aren't having issues with this mod and 4.1.3

thanks

for what it's worth I'm only using e-mail blocking for now

Does this hack work with 4.1.2? I need some repellant bad. My forum is infested with spammers. Like 12+ registrations a day.

I had to uninstall this because for some reason, when I tried to delete more than one post in a thread, it wouldn't let me. Once I removed it, I found I could delete posts as normal.

Hmm

Ok i am running vb 4.1 and have just upgraded today to this spam version.

I noticed a number of things which are confusing.

When i look at a user in the admin panel i no longer have the option at the bottom of their user profile which allowed to delete posts, ban user remover user and submit to stopforum spam.com That box has disappeared. Is that supposed to happen?

Second, I was looking at the picture examples in this posts showing the ability to click on moderation tools and choose spam-o-matic. I do not have this option nor can i see it anywhere except when looking at thread lists (not for individual spammers) and even then under the moderation tools button there is no spam-o-matic.

One of the things about this app which i really liked was the admin panel function stuff which has disappeared.

Any ideas?

Posts result in a blank page.
Turn Spam-o-matic off and problem goes away.
Turn Spam-o-matic on and problem comes back.

Doing more research.

Duh... Operator Error... Reloaded Spam-o-matic files and it works!

What are they getting blocked on most often? You can turn off checks in that specific area and leave the IP and email checks... Basically You decide where your own cut off is.

I'm wondering when we get our AdminCP reporting options back... Most of my spammers are of a type that do not post, but need to be reported. Basically using the "my home page" link on the profiles of my site to backlink to porn, male enhancement and other stuff that has nothing at all to do with my site, never posting.

If a legitimate user is denied registration what is the proper procedure? And I've had this happen several times now so I'm a little confused if this script is too aggressive.
