Author: filburt1 Description: a powerful, admin CP-integrated set of options to automatically perform actions on users and posts who appear to be flooding your forums with spam. This is a relatively complicated mod to install so read the instructions. Requires PAPI 1.0.8. Screenshot: attached for admin CP, n/a for actual usage
Read This!
The number of queries that this mod uses is dynamic but execute on every page. If you are not in the Registered usergroup or have turned off the spambot protection, it uses none. If you only monitor spam threads or replies, it uses one query; if you monitor for both, it's two queries.
The query for actually detecting spam is relatively server-intensive. However, if you make the threshold higher, the query gets much more intensive. Choose an intelligent value. Something along the lines of 100 could cripple your server because the query would have to search the entire huge post table before quitting.
So, if you have a large board, configure with intelligence!
This better work for everybody, that's all I can say *yawn* I do expect people to report bugs to the complexity of the mod so I'll be ready for them...tomorrow.

Since updating the new PAPI page, it is working. My settings were to close the thread and delete the replies after 6 posts in 30 seconds. While it did work, it did it after 4 replies (total 5 posts), so I am not sure if there is a greater then or something sign messed up.
I have posted some screenshots, you may use them if you wish .
Note: I called my drone guy 'spammerbot' so don't get confused .
Ok, I did it to hide the replies when it hits 6. As I was posting my 6th time all the replies were hiddden so I didn't see the 6th post. I assume this is how it works.
The concurrent deletion is tricky because (I think) a new thread counts as a new reply as well. Therefore two threads and two replies might count as six and then kick in.
I defintely believe that the new thread counts as part of the "new replies." If it doesn't then it has a bug because it is one short everytime, as far as "replies" goes.
Let me know, I will test new stuff out on my test board if you wish .
