I'm loving this mod as it catches 100% of the "spam and run" spammers (usually bots).
All of our new users initially go into a "moderated users" usergroup. Once we feel confident about them (based on the quality of their messaging) they are moved up to an "unmoderated users" usersgroup.
I would like this mod to be able to run totally automated on the "moderated users" (new users) group so that if they post a URL, etc. they are automatically banned (so I don't have to clean out their posts later). Over the past several weeks of tests, the system has been 100% accurate in catching those type of spammers. I'd like to be able to put it on autopilot so that it not only deletes their current spam, but any prior posts and puts them into the permanently banned usergroup. I assume that could best be done by cron.
Just my own personal wish to save webmaster time.
Thanks for a great mod. -- Rik
ps: Upon using the mod more, since we have a "one strike and you're out" policy for new user spamming, I'd just assume those new "moderated users" be banned immediately on their first spam post. Then no cron is necessary.
