Im flattered, I really am.
Update on 0.7rc.
The core caching / whitelist / lookup rewrite is complete with the following requests included
- GeoIP country banning (goodbye China - nothing personal but you spam too much)
- Much better caching support
- Better remote lookup support
- Statistics logging
- Locally cached cron import of the stopforumspam IP database
The core has been rewritten to allow easy integration into the Contact Us form and into post thread / message or PM so that you can configure it to check if details appear on the database for X days after registrations. This will allow a system admin to set, for example, a threshold of 30 days. If posting a PM or message within the first 30 after registrations, it will check the database if they appear as a spammer and will block it, with an optional PM notification to a mod/admin group.
Also included in the starter of the UI support, is full 3.6 and 3.7 integration, giving details of whois information, links to google searches, etc etc.
With the statistics module (that Ive started), youll get full graphs on a yearly period (older than a year gets auto pruned), with a daily, monthly and yearly totals/averages of
- Cache hits vs misses
- Country ban breakdowns
- Successful vs Banned vs Expired* registrations
*Expired is where there is a hit on the spam database but its older than the threshold set in the forum.
