[GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic - Spam Firewall stops forum spam
Developer Last Online: Sep 2022 
If you install this mod, please mark this as "Installed."
VERSION 2.1.2 RELEASED 5/28/2013! About Spam-O-Matic 2.x: Spam-O-Matic 2.x (SOM) is a spam firewall for your vBulletin Forums version 4.x and later. It prevents known spammers from registering on your forums. If they can't register, they can't spam! Languages Packs Available English German - Courtesy of Alex@bulletin (included in zip) Romanian - Courtesy of Teascu Dorin's (included in zip) Spanish - Courtesy of vbluis (included in zip) How it Works This data responsible for blocking user registrations comes from the stopforumspam.com (SFS) spammer database. After the user who is trying to register passes the built-in vBulletin registration checks which you have configured in your vBulletin settings, SOM then checks the SFS database to see if the IP, username, or email address that the user is trying to register with has been recently tagged as a known spam source on other forums around the Internet. Also can be configured to check the Akismet service for known comment spam. This is without a doubt, one of the most important mods that you will be using on your forum. Other Notable Stuff It also does a ton of other cool stuff like moderating posts automatically if the post is found in the Akismet database, or if it contains words on your "Bad Words" keyword list which can be configured within the mod itself. The mod WORKS with vBulletin's new Facebook integration. This module works with all of the Facebook functions that are built into the vB4 series. Similar mods do not handle Facebook integration completely. This module has the ability to submit new spammer details to the StopForumSpam or Akismet databases automatically, all without any new templates or manual template modifications! :up: This means other forums that are running Spam-O-Matic will not have the same spammer on their forums if you have (automatically) reported the spammer to the SFS database. Just install the product in the product manager, upload a few files, configure the system and you are done. (Estimated time: 5-10 minutes) What's new in 2.1.0:
Feature List:
A) StopForumSpam: The StopForumSpam Module lets you:
NOTE: You should use some sort of human verification checking in vBulletin's built-in options to limit the number of requests to the already heavily-loaded StopForumSpam database servers. This will also prevent additional load because SOM will not have to do anything if the bot/spammer fails preliminary registration validation which is built-into vBulletin itself. It is completely invisible to humans who are registering that this process is taking place. Bots are stopped dead in their tracks. If a spammer is able to sneak past the first line of defense, and manages to post, then there are secondary, tertiary, and, uh...4th level protections too! B) Auto-Moderation: Auto Moderation lets you:
Spammers that make it past the StopForumSpam and Auto-Moderation will be checked against the Akismet service. If they manage to make a post, and then are found on Akismet, they can be auto-moderated. The Akismet settings let you:
Should you decide to enable this option, you can create a new usergroup and then tell Spam-O-Matic about it. Once SOM knows about this usergroup, and once enabled, all new users will be part of the Newbies group. The idea here is that you make a Newbies group that has limited forum permissions. For example, no signatures, no BB code, no images, and etc. This group is created completely in the vB admincp. Spam-O-Matic simply makes it the graduation process to the normal Registered Users group, automatic. Learn More and Discuss the Newbies Manager here. Punitive Actions: If you find a spammer has made it past your 4 front-lines of defense, and has managed to post on your forum, then you can help the community... The spammer's details can be sent to the Stop Forum Spam and Akismet databases automatically, preventing them from registering or posting on other forums. When other forums do the same, the protection is reciprocated. Simply moderate a post and choose the option to "Delete Posts As Spam..." an then choose the option to "Ban User." Banning the user sends their details to either Akismet, StopForumSpam, (or both) depending on how you set it up. API Keys: API Keys are not required for this system to stop spammers on your forums. But you should obtain them so that your forum can contribute to the real-time block lists. A StopForumSpam API key is required if you want to contribute to the StopForumSpam blacklists by adding your spammers to their database. By submitting spammers you help keep other forums and blogs clean. An Akismet API key is required if you want to enable any Akismet auto-moderation features in this module. Akismet API key is not required for all Auto-Moderation functions. You can obtain a Stop Forum Spam API key which is free from stopforumspam.com. Get your StopForumSpam API Key Here You can obtain an Akismet API key from Akismet.com. Akismet offers free and paid API keys so choose your version based on your situation. Get your Akismet API Key Here Why it is better than the other anti-spam solutions on vBulletin.org:

One of my members has a problem when she tries to post, I have Vbulletin 4.2 and according to support, they suggested I get in touch with the author of Glowhost about my error.
I'm a little concerned about putting the error on the forum for security reasons, any suggestions how I can send it on but out of the publics eye? Thanks Pete

I have an issue with auto-moderation.
As soon as a user is banned/blocked or a post/thread is queued for moderation - I will not recv any message/PM/Email or any other kind of notification. That means that I would need to look in the admin/moderator panel several times a day to check if something is blocked/banned or whatever. And I have to check the glowhost logs by hand. How can I setup a notification for all actions or at least block/ban actions, please? (to all moderators/admins via Email) There is an option for reported postings and warned users. But it seems that glowhost is not using this feature.

In the past week or so I've a number of bots (approx 1-2/day) register and post spam on my forum despite this mod installed. I've increased the number of questions for the human verification and yesterday I enabled the auto-moderation to prevent URLs posted by users with low post counts, and yet one managed to post today. I do not have any API keys either.
Is anyone else experiencing a recent decline in performance? From what I can tell the mod as been working flawlessly for almost a year with most spammers stopped at registration. No other changes have been made in the forum software. I'll try a uninstall/reinstall as well. Any experiences or help would be appreciated. Cheers
