vBFoster - 3 Ways To Protect Your Forum From Spammers [LITE] [UPDATED]
 

Hello All,

We decided to release this feature as a separate product because most of the users want this huge spamming protection that is working in a three ways to protect your forum, Let's take a look :)

Overview :
This modification is a spamming detector, Which is detecting the spammer when he is creating a new thread, If vBFoster has any doubt in this member to be a spammer then vBFoster will not show the thread to the public until the administrator check the thread and then decide if he want to approve this thread or saying thanks to vBFoster and remove the thread :)

The first way, Registration process :

vBFoster will contact to a huge daily update spamming network 3AntiSpam.Com that is part of our systems, Then our system here will reply to the vBFoster in your forum if this e-mail and IP is a spammer or not, If the e-mail is listed in our system then vBFoster will stop the registration of this member.

The second way, Posting process [LITE VERSION]:

vBFoster spamming detecting tool, Is a system that can detect the spammer when he will try to post a new thread, You have many options that vBFoster will allows you to detect the spammer, For example that this member has no posts before, He will post links into the thread ... etc

The third way, Cleaning up process :

If he passed all of these steps, You still have the option to "One Touch Spam Cleaner" and after vBFoster one touch spam cleaner finished his work, It will report the user info to our systems so the other forums that is POWERED BY vBFoster will not see this guy in their forums

So, As you see vBFoster will completely protect your forum against spammers with these three ways.

Reserved, Please Don't talk about the PRO version here, This thread is only for the FREE LITE VERSION, If you have any question or want to discuss anything about the PRO version please post your question in vBFoster official forums : http://www.vbfoster.com/forums/

So it's basically like spam-o-matic.

No spam-o-matic check the e-mail in registration process, If the spammer passed the registration process he will be able to post spamming threads in your forum. but that is a spamming detector when he creating a new thread not in registration process, Please check the first post again :)

The Glowhost Spam-o-Matic add-on at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248042 also has options for checking posts (all, under a certain post-count, or new registrations only) and sending them to moderation. As far as I can tell, it does everything your add-on does.

Glowhost add-on: Free for as many forums as you wish

To be blunt, yours appears to be seriously over-priced.

If I was going to post then the above says it all.
I've used Spam-oMatic for 2 years now, and it does everything and more than this lite version or the Gold version, and the Spam-O-Matic is free and works great.

Even when Spammers get through the registration, there are lots of settings set up which stops any Spam coming through, urls, words many things, it has some great options built into it.
You should try it.

As I said, vBulletin.org is not a place to talk about any paid modification, If you want to discuss any thing about the PRO version should be in the modification site not at vbulletin.org.

Well, baiting them here to get them to your site for wayyyy over-priced mods shouldn't be allowed either.

Rob, The product price is not your business, nor me and not to anyone it's only back to the parent company of the product.

It's still bait-and-hook, no matter how you look at it. But, I digress.
