What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

What I tend to find is if they can't post links, they will post the link in words like
vbulletin dot org and so on

But I guess if a spammer really want to get over things they will one way or another.
Nice mod though...

Hey ozzy, nice mod. Would you recommend using this as an extra layer with your "era of spam" tutorial?

That may be true, but then it is not a live link on the site.

You can, this will hinder any human spammers that make it through.

Just to mention, I just had 3 spammers register to my site, they each putted one post with link.

Strange thing is that I use layers of spam protection, including the fact my forum isn't in English. I removed posts, banned them, but mod such as this is always welcome to have. :up:

[ozzy47]

Yeah sometimes the rouge human spammer does make it through, so this will help with them posting live links.

Thanks for marking as installed.

Any chance to update to exclude the links typed in words? It looks like only way to go through by spammers. Probably impossible but...

Anyway a mod is very useful and marked as installed

Not quite sure what you mean, you have a example?
