vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Anti-Spam Options

I have two suggestions based on the SMF mod that uses StopForumSpam's database to filter spammers. The SMF version as I recall had another option besides just deny or allow registration on match.

I would suggest a third option...allow registration and put the regsitrant in the moderation queue. Also, if the database can't be reached for whatever reason a similar approach should be taken to ensure valid registrants aren't tagged as spammers just because they couldn't be checked.

As a note I am impressed with the fact that this mod still works on V4.1 considering no updates for quite some time. I would be willing to donate if the mod could be rounded out and provide more options on how to handle things.
