Spam Decimator · **Released**: 06-21-2008

This is an updated version of my previous extension, Spam Decimator 1.0.x. This is for vB versions 3.7.0 and up. It may work with 3.6.8PL2 and up, but I cannot confirm this.

Features Include:

-Ban a spammer with two clicks.

-Delete all threads by a user (soft or permanent, ACP configurable)

-Delete all posts by a user (again, soft or permanent, choice is yours)

-NEW! Delete any spam comments and log them as well.

-Permit or deny mod/super mod access through ACP

-Email the spammer saying pretty much haha, caught you sucker (default email can be configured using ACP)

-Email the webmaster informing him/her of the attack

-Option to move all soft deleted threads to a specified forum (for safe keeping in case IP addresses or whatnot are later needed for legal proceedings or whatever)

Most everything here works with vB native functions (i.e. delete_thread, etc.), so forum, thread, and post counters are automatically updated.

Install

Installing is quite simple. Simply upload the included files (three of them, decimator.php, includes/functions_decimator.php, and images/misc/spambutton.gif) preserving hierarchy and import the product file, and voila! you're done and ready to take on any spammer who comes your way.

***NOTE: if template hooks do not work for you, see the install file included in the package for instructions.

Other Stuff

**UPDATED!!!

Tested and functioning with vBulletin 3.7.1. I make no guarantees about compatibility with other versions.

Spam Decimator 2.0.0 is slated for a late June 2008 release, with a features list to follow.

That's basically it. Enjoy, and as always, click install

Changes:
1.0.1 - Fixed problems with xml product file, validated for use with vB 3.5 Gold release.

1.0.2 - Fixed mod/super mod access bug as well as fixed templates for non-vB default styles.

1.0.3 - Fixed all known remaining bugs, rewrote email system to properly parse emails using native vB functions.

1.0.4 - Attempted to fix bug I can't find...updated main template.

1.0.5 - Fixed no mod access bug.

1.5.0 - Added post count limit to be decimatable, added plugin to control display of Decimator button. Fixed minor issues, rewrote several functions for improved performance.

1.5.1 - Fixed bugs, added vBulletin blog comment compatibility.

Could you also make it delete all of the users PM's too?

adam75south · #44 10-08-2008, 10:13 PM

well, it didn't work for me.
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/.sites/28/site1/web/forums/includes/functions.php on line 1733"

i'm sure it's something with my forum that's messing it up.

adam75south · #45 10-08-2008, 10:17 PM

it looks like it banned the guy, but didn't delete the posts. i have it set to permanently delete threads and posts and not move them.

adam75south · #46 10-08-2008, 10:21 PM

ok i got it working. i'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but the first time i ran it i had the board disabled....so it gave me errors. it did ban the guy but didn't delete. so then i went back and had everything checked again, still errored out...then went back and unchecked ban, and it errored and told me there was no blog...went and set delete blog posts to no....went back, unchecked ban, ran it with deleted checked and it worked.

THANKS SO MUCH!

it's working GREAT now. i'm not sure if it was because i first ran it with the board disabled or what, but pretty much flawless now.

maybe in an update you could make default check/uncheck on your boxes, i really don't care to send them emails.

This mod sounds really good,

When you click to ban the member does it automatically add the members email address and IP address to the list in the CP of banned member details?

installed and works good

It bans the member. Banning a member adds them to the list of banned members.

I know that it will add that member to the ban list, but is just their Username that is added to the list?

does it work buy adding their email address to the banned email list? or IP?

Or are you saying that it is only the username that is banned, meaning that no one can join using that username?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
