It's actually in a product, it's a mod of the spam filter I found on this site. The filter works fine, I just wanted to append the test to exclude users with more than 10 posts. If need be I suppose I could create another default reg. user group and a promotion for 10 posts, then test for usergroup, but with 30 forums that's a whole lot of work.

edit: I went into the xml and found the hook, it's threadfpdata_presave.

Is it possible that variable isn't populated on that hook?
