Fassim Anti Forum Spam
 

****** Please mark installed if you're using it. ******

• Blocks spammers via IP / Email.
• Block countries and regions from registering to your forum.
• Block anonymous proxies.**
• Block Top Spamming Domains.
• Block Top Spamming ISP?s.
• Scan posts and allow you to moderate the posts

**(We're not saying it will block all proxies, just the ones we know about, which is a lot. To know about every proxy would be an impossible task.)

If the new registering member is determined to be a bot or spammer, they will receive a message telling them they are not allowed to register.

It will also scan posts and determine if the post is spam or not. You have 4 options if the post is determined to be spam.
**Note: Post scans will only work with English currently.

1. Nothing.
2. Moderate Post
3. Soft Delete
4. Physically Delete

To install: import product-fassim.xml into your vBulletin Products section. After its installed goto vBulletin Option -> Fassim Anti Spam Options, insert your API key that you will need to get from our website (www.fassim.com).

great but what is "known" spammers?
thanks

Is someone that has posted consistent spam on multiple forums.

In the Options Section for the product. Can you please explain the "User Post Threshold" more thoroughly.

User Post Threshold:
Fassim will scan all posts from a user until they have reached that number, then it will not scan them anymore. So if Fassim determines the post to be spam it will not increment their post count. This can be useful if you are using promotions, because some spammer will post a few posts to get their count up so they can get promoted to do more things..(e.g. signatures, private messaging...etc)

Hello, any chance this will be released for 4.0? It's the only one I have found where you can block by country.

I've tested it and have a lot of people that are using it with for 4.0 currently.

How many sites are signed up to Fassim? How does this differ from StopForumSpam?

We differ from StopForumSpam by having a few more controls over what can be blocked like :

* Block countries and regions from registering to your forum. (just enter a country code, you don't have to edit a .htaccess file like most people do.)

* Block anonymous proxies.
* Block Top Spamming Domains.
* Block Top Spamming ISP’s.
* Scan posts and allow you to moderate the posts

which hundreds have told us that it help with false positives that they were getting using other spam plugins.

Thanks, I am trying it out.

How is this working for people? I need some input.

edit: If we wanted to report spammers to you to add to your database, would this make it easy? I saw no link for such reporting on your website.

downloaded and installed, waiting on API key to get it into action

You can report spammers here : http://www.fassim.com/report-spammer/

Sent you a key.

I've just download it several days ago and already try it for about 3 days, but I wonder why even though i've already block country by giving the country code, the spammer from the blocked country still can register to my forum? The country that i'm talking about is from Russia and romania (i've blocked that 2 country from registering).. Is it just happened to my case?

You should be able to block from those countries. Also, in the country field do you have the countries listed with comma then a space (RU, AR) or like (RU,AR) make sure their are no spaces between the country codes. Can you send me your forum address?

Hi.. Really sorry to take a long time for me to reply to you.. I didn't notice there is a reply for me.. Anyway, about the writting of country listed, I didn't put any spaces.. I almost put every country except my own country.. Is it a problem?..In fact I once put an experiment to blocked my country code (but of course I already unblocked it again), and it was working.. I can't registered.. But i don't know why it's not working for other country..I'll pm you about my url

Waiting on a key !

how long does it usually take to get you api key ?

I've seen the 1.3 version on Fassim's site. Is it working on vB 3.8 or only 1.2 is working in vB 3.8?

Cheers!

Version 1.3 : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=291851

Will work on vBulletin 3.8.

Doesn't seem to work on 4.2.2. Users are still registering with proxies and @hmamail.com addresses.

What's the proxy ip address that its not blocking?

85.237.222.28 and 85.237.222.143.

It also seems Fassim is duplicating / merging posts. When a user posts it adds their post then adds --- Updated --- to their post then underneath that shows their message again. I have the post check disabled. I had to turn off Fassim completely for this to stop.

This thread is for the vb 3.8, everyone that is using vb4.x make sure you install our newer plugin
