Will this work on 3.8?

Yes, I use the mod still and run the latest VB version.

bump on this topic, as I had a question. Monkey, the hack is great, but I had a question...

When I updated my word list, is seems to be extracting words from other words, for instance, if I post the word "pass" and the filter is set to moderate it minus the "p", it pulls "pass" along with anything else including that word; however, if I moderate phrases such as "I am going to shoot you" then it will only moderate that specific phrase.

Any ideas?


FYI:

I modified the code to send an email using sendmail, which in turn emails my cellphone text email, which in turn texts my cell :) I did this for my entire support team...it's a great feature, but the random texts got annoying over words such as what I mentioned above.

Hmm, that is a strange one. Can you paste in exactly what you put in your "Auto-Moderation Keywords" field in AdminCP? I didn't moderate phrases, but only single words (ie "viagra", "sex", or "http") and it has worked almost 100% to catch most spam. I'm assuming you're using it specifically for spam prevention.



I was meaning to add that feature! I'd love it if you sent the modified code my way so I can update the plugin with that feature for everyone... if you don't mind. ;) I'll remove your phone # and give credit etc. :)

Hi

I use this on vb 3.80 without any problems. One of the best mods out there!

BUT this mod does not work with visitor messages. I get currently massive spam over the visitor messages.

If this mod would include not only postings in forums, but also in visitor message with a user profile, this would help a lot!

Any chance to get this done with visitor messages?

Do you have an email? I'll just send a couple text files with the changes.

Thanks,
I'm sure it could be adapted to Visitor messages. I haven't had spammers hit me that way. The one I have seen them try is Signatures a lot though...

There's one way to fix either of these problems. Create a usergroup for people that have say, 10, 20, or 50 posts. Make it so regular users with less than this many posts do not have access to post signatures or Visitor messages. Unless the spammer starts after making 50 legitimate posts (very unlikely) their spam will never be seen.

Or for a quick fix, make your most generic/lowest post count usergroup have this setting applied:
Follow Forum Moderation Rules

In the guest/visitor profile page option of the usergroup CP ^^^


Sure, send it to dan -at- tweak3d dot net

Monkey,

Email Sent, sorry for the delay.

Np, saw it. Thanks and I'll look at it when I've got some time. :)

Hi,

Is it possible to avoid auto-moderating posts that includes internal URLs (ie. links to URLs within own domain)?

I've included keywords like .com, http, www and it auto-moderates posts that include links to my own site.

Thank you.
