I've been having a lot of people come to my forum asking for members to visit survey sites (as their first post).. I'd like to use this modification on the word "survey". However, it would be REALLY nice if I could allow my registered members with 25 posts or more to bypass the filter.. Is this at all possible?

[royouth]

this would be the perfect solution if it included the first post in the thread to also be moderated.

Nice plugin. It's useless for spam though (IMO) because most spammers start new threads instead of replying to others. I hope it gets updated some day to stop new threads from being posted.

Edit - this only happens on VB 3.6+ it seems. See my fix below.

It already does

[tweakmonkey]

Not for me. I run VB 3.6 though, which may be the reason.

Here's the fix for anyone who wants it to moderate new threads as well:
Open product-kwautomod.xml
Around line 12, find two occurences of 'pagetext' and change it to 'pagetext', 'post'

Here's the complete code including spelling and description fix if anyone wants it (I may post an updated version of the code later with more modifications):

I posted this earlier instead that also stops people from posting a set # of URLs per post to further reduce spam. It also checks the number of posts a user has before applying the moderation.

This thing works a treat, well done Kirby. However coming up with a comprehensive list of keywords is a killer.

[JPnyc]

Darn, they're right, it prevents posts but not new threads on 3.5.7

Edit: however the fix works. Well done.

Has anyone tried this on vBulletin version 3.6.x?

[ValorduX]

Yeah. And no it doesn't work. But try this one out:

It's the same thing, but with more features.
