No support by the author.

Description
This will allow you to automatically scan new posts from new members for common spam keywords. If any are found, the post/thread will be sent to the moderation queue to prevent their spam from having any affect. If your filter is very strict, and a regular user happens to trigger it, no harm is done because your moderators can just approve the post.

Options
  • Maximum Posts - this will only scan posts posted by users who have this many (or less) posts. Usually spammers only post 1-5 times!
  • Keywords - a list of keywords (or any strings) to be searched. Remember it doesn't match a whole word, so a keyword of "[url" will block the user from posting any links. This is NOT case sensitive!
3.5 Users:
A 3.5x version XML file is also included.

Well, good news for you - this mod works perfectly in vB4.

(It has no templates, which is a really good start when looking for mods to work with 4. )

I'm having a problem with spammers signing up and just typing a normal post and then putting URL's to viagra or whatever into their signature. Is there any way to get this mod to check the signatures too?

Had the same problem, but decided to disallow post editing for anyone who has less than 10 posts and hasn't been a member for more than a month, did this by creating a promotion from registered to registered_ which then has full member privileges.

Causes a few problems, but solves more than it causes. I've also disallowed PM privileges until the promotion, as we were getting a lot of PM spam.

Have this running on 3.8 and vb4.

This is one of the most useful spam prevention mods I have installed and I'm still using it for 3.8

There does appear to be a way to bypass the filter though, which I'm obviosuly not going to post on an open forum. Is this mod still supported at all, I notice the last update was 3 years ago!

I've been using this mod for some time all the way through 3.8.4.
I think it stopped working with 3.8.5.
Anyone else notice a problem with 3.8.5?
Could a hook have changed?

How do you add keywords to your filter? I am not sure where to look. Thank you!

Adrian,
I am a newbee.
I uploaded your code... now what? Does it start working automatically? I went to the "edit" feature in the "Installed Products" section, but didn't find where I could customize "spammer" keywords like "phamarcy, viagra," etc.

The Text file that came with the download didn't give any instructions.
There were also two files that come with your download - I had no idea which to load, so I loaded the latest one that was created. .?

Sorry if I sound so new. Cuz I am.
Can you help?
