Spam Decimator Version 2.0
$error

More information would be useful.

What about it deleting visitor messages and social group messages as well?

If i released the final 2.0, we can talk about new features. :)

vb 4.1.6. error:

Not Found
The requested URL /decimator.php?userid=303&threadid=5556&postid=4374 9 was not found on this server.

Looks like you haven't uploaded the files from the "upload" folder into your forum root.

Reinstalled and works fine. Thanks.

how if i have different skins ?
because it's work on defaul vb style for me ?

Sorry, i don't understand what you mean. :confused:

solved :)
mark installed

Is it possible to move the spam button from the left of the postbit to right of other buttons?.

Thanks, installed and rated :up:.

Well done. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help :)

Only with a manuel template edit, cause there is no template hook. Let me know if you need help for that.

Ability to add IP address to banned list would be great.

Can you add a button in the Blog section as well? Maybe in the section when you click on the user ID? This might also be an option instead of a button on the forums as well as I think the hook for it is global?

Also I do not see a check box for Blogs (when enabled) when you click on the current SPAM icon.

Is on my current do do list. :)

This is much more advanced then the "One Touch" If there is anything I can do to help please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks. :)

You're talking about the user profile?

You mean the forumdisplay?

Scren capture... I think this is universal regardless of where you are in VB (Blogs, CMS, Forums)

Ah ok. That's a good idea. :)

Small weekend update:

More later. :)

Thank you for the update :)

maybe you can test this
add this to .htaccess

order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.1.20
allow from all


You can ban any ip , segment, or full class.

Cya

He's talking about the vbulletin option to ban ip addresses.

I have looked at the template but cant find what needs changing to move it right, thanks. :up:

Edit postbit_legacy template.

Find:

Add above:
That's all.

It's great mod, thanks, work perfectly on my board (vBulletin version 4.1.3)

But there is a bug:

On thread the SPAM button for staf (moderator or super moderator) is not appear, but on PM is appear... Can you give solution about this situation...

Thanks before :)

Normally the spam button should appear in forum posts, if you have correctly set your spam decimator settings (correct usergroup ids). Please check your settings first.

About the PM button in pms. Didn't notice that the template hook uses the same controls there. It's fixed in the next beta build.

Hi. I've uploaded to my root and upload the .xml. When I log onto my site I can see the new "spam" button under the posts, however when I click on it I get this error: Not Found

The requested URL /decimator.php was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at www.mysite.com Port 80

I've uploaded many other add-ons before so I am familiar how to do it. Any thoughts?

Do you have your forum stuff in a seperate subfolder?

Not sure what you mean.

With Filezilla I upload everything to /public_html and everything usually works.

What do you think the problem is?

The files to upload need to go where your forum software is located. For example if your forums are in /public_html/forums (http://www.YourSite/Forums) then you need to upload to that location.

The not found error you are getting just means the file is not being found where it thinks it should be.

Or: Be sure that you have uploaded the "decimator.php" into the same folder where the "forum.php" is.

nice mod thanks
sr my Noble question: how long spamer will be ban or forever???

You find {vb:raw template_hook.memberaction_dropdown_items} in memberaction_dropdown template, then add above it:
You can change the groupid number depend on your forum;)

Pls help don't check IP Spammer.

More details?
IP checker only works, if some user have exactly the same ip.

I guess "2.0 Beta 2" is a more updated version of the mod rather then "2.0 Beta", however I find it a bit ambiguos.
Also I can't find the option menu, so I can't choose to wich forum move the deleted posts and neither to hard delete them.
Also I think that the "check IP adress" should only tell moderator if anybody used the same IP adress and then give him the possibility to choose accordingly, giving them some kind of link and not brutally deleting. This may lead to errors. Painful errors.
Also I should be able to disable to the moderators the ability to ban// check the same ip adress.
I can't allow moderators to use this mod untill you give us the possibility to limit the "check same IP adress", in some enviroments is a too risky option, you know how are customers...

Keep the good work!

To give you some examples:
-People in China who live in a big many-family-one-house
-Students at university
-People at work
-Internet cafés
-Hostels, dormitories.
As you see it's not so hard to find you people that match the same IP while registering and in that precise moment, and maybe just one of them is a spammer, not everybody is so luck to have a private internet connection at home.
