Following the release of vB SpamBuster v0.1 earlier in the week I've added some of the improvements based on the discussion about it.

This version is a complete rewrite over v0.1 and adds the major features:

• Moves spam into the moderation queue rather than giving the user a "permission denied error"
• Has a highly configurable scoring system

As you can see the ruleset is fairly small at the moment I still think that it will catch a lot of spam posts. Any help/feedback from people running the system and either getting "false positives" or want to add any better rules to the default list please let me know.

Installation instructions

Download spambuster-libs.php and spambuster-rules.php.

You may wish to edit the define values at the top of the spambuster-libs.php file. Later on you might want to edit the rules in spambuster-rules.php too.

Upload spambuster-libs.php and spambuster-rules.php into your includes directory.

In both newthread.php and newreply.php find:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php'); 


after it add:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/spambuster-libs.php'); 


In newthread.php find:

PHP Code:

verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']); 


after it add:

PHP Code:

// do a spambuster test
sb_test($_POST['subject'],$_POST['message'].$_POST['WYSIWYG_HTML']); 


Now in newreply.php find:

PHP Code:

$threadid = intval($_REQUEST['threadid']); 


after it add:

PHP Code:

// do a spambuster test
sb_test($_POST['title'],$_POST['message'].$_POST['WYSIWYG_HTML']); 


As ever any feedback would be gratefully received.
