MonkeyStop - Auto-Moderation of Spammer Keywords and URLs by postcount
Developer Last Online: Apr 2014
Description
----------- A quick but effective hack that lets you set keywords that will flag posts and set as Moderated, requiring approval from a mod/supermod/admin before they're visible to users. You can also set the number of URLs to be allowed per post to stop flooding from spammers. Additionally, you can configure the number of posts required to avoid the moderation, so the filter only effects new users to your forum. Installation ------------ Import product-monkeystop.xml (ACP / vBulletin Options / Manage Products / [Add/Import Product]) Usage ------------ Configure the product in ACP / vBulletin Options / vBulletin Options / General Settings. (scroll to the bottom) New threads and posts containing the offenses will automatically be moderated. You can view moderated threads in ACP / Moderation / Moderate Threads. You should also see an icon in the thread postbit and forum display if the post is moderated (see screenshot). Since most spammers register then spam your board while their post count is low, it may be effective to leave the default values (0 URLs allowed until post count is 3) or even up the post count requirement. If you wish to allow some links, change URLs to 1 or 2 for example. !!! Warning !!! ------------ If you allow keyword auto-moderation, your users will receive an "Invalid Thread" message when they use a flagged word on new threads because it's a moderated thread. However this error can be customized here: Admin Panel / Phrase Manager / phrase type: Error Messages / invalidid (page 15 or so of the errors) I added: Code:
<br/><br/>If you received this message immediately after posting a new thread, there's a good chance your message was flagged as spam. Please read this thread for more info. Credits ----------- This is a hack of the "Auto Moderation by Keywords" mod by Andreas (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=47102) Thanks go out for his great mod -- if only I could PM or e-mail him to thank him directly! I only made minor changes to the mod to allow it to work with vBulletin 3.6.0 (by default it wouldn't work on new threads) and to auto-moderate posts URLs. So give him credit if you think it's cool, but his PM box is full. Dan "Tweak Monkey" Kennedy History ----------- v1.0.1: Added minimum post count option v1.0.0: Initial release Show Your Support

Any luck with discovering this yet? LOVE the MOD, only wish it gave some sort of indication to a moderated user when they REPLY to a post.

Check out my hack here,
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=131568 It does essentially the same thing, but uses a different hook so it will only catch new threads/posts that are done through the new post/thread editor rather than RSS feeds too. Also, if the post is set as awaiting moderation, they will get the expected redirection message instead of the error. |

Since Cybernetec allows one to customize the phrases used for that MOD I was able to put a NOTICE in there to New Users that they are not able to have LINKS in their posts right off the bat. Not perfect, but it serves my needs for now. |

This is a great mod, but I'm finding that some spam posts with URLs slipping through. If it doensn't have the http:// prefix, it bypasses moderation and is posted immediately.
Suggestion: use a custom phrase, instead of the standard vbulletin invalidid phrase. |

I have the post count set to 3, the url set to 3, and a whole slew of keywords seperated by a comma without a space. When a new user registers ... ninty percent of the time it places them into the moderation queue even if there are no flagged keywords or url's in the post. i just upped the url option to 10 in hopes that it fixes the problem im having ... if not then ill have to uninstall it. its really discouraging to a vetran poster joining a new forum to have there non offencive posts placed into a moderation queue. any suggestions? i really like the concept of this hack and appreaciate the work you put into it ... thank you.
