Moderate first 10 posts from new users (Anti-Spam) · **Released**: 03-29-2002

This hack checks to see how many post a user currently has, if it is 10 or less it will wait for the post to be validated. Otherwise, it will display the post as normal. In addition, it will display a alternate message telling the user that their post must be validated because they're a new member.

This hack is great to keep people from signing up, spamming, and leaving! This is my first hack and the only php I know is from looking at the source so if there is any problems please let me know.

It's currently installed at my site www.AllForums.net , so please REGISTER AND TRY IT OUT

.

If you use it please click the install button, I hope it helps you!

interesting idea..

Thanks, I got the idea because I get about 2 people a day who register and post this thing about mailing 6 dollars to them, blah blah... It makes me mad, and since 99% of the time it's not a member who actually stays and post real posts this should solve that problem...

This really helps a lot due to the increasing number of spamming going on my site.

A god send hack

Anyway what happens if a new member post more than 10 messages after registration? Will the 11th posts appear? Keeping in mind that the 10 posts has not been moderated yet.

I would like to know that too. Can it be made to not let him post more than 10 until the first ones are approved?

I still created such a hack. Which is a little bit more dynamicly: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=36312

I was wondering...

We have a problem with user who use profanity...

Is there a way to adapt this hack to make ALL his posts be moderated by Super Mods and Admins?

hm, I don't know what "profanity" means in german, sorry for my bad english.

But I think I know what you mean, actually, there are only members in the normal "registered" usergroup controlled by this hack. In other usergroups you have to modify the hack a little bit and add the other usergroup

Profanity - Er...

Nice idea, some sloppy coding though - it kind of ruins the effect.

In both files, where you have to replace a line of code, you have this:

Code:

If ($allforumshack = 0) {

I think you mean:

Code:

if ($allforumshack == 0) {

= is assigning a value to a variable
== means "if it equals"

With a single = every user will get the second template.

I've also edited my code so that the moderation redirects don't apply to mods, super mods or admins.
