[release] Spambot Protection

Description: a powerful, admin CP-integrated set of options to automatically perform actions on users and posts who appear to be flooding your forums with spam. This is a relatively complicated mod to install so read the instructions. Requires PAPI 1.0.8.
Screenshot: attached for admin CP, n/a for actual usage

Read This!
The number of queries that this mod uses is dynamic but execute on every page. If you are not in the Registered usergroup or have turned off the spambot protection, it uses none. If you only monitor spam threads or replies, it uses one query; if you monitor for both, it's two queries.

The query for actually detecting spam is relatively server-intensive. However, if you make the threshold higher, the query gets much more intensive. Choose an intelligent value. Something along the lines of 100 could cripple your server because the query would have to search the entire huge post table before quitting.

So, if you have a large board, configure with intelligence!

This better work for everybody, that's all I can say *yawn* I do expect people to report bugs to the complexity of the mod so I'll be ready for them...tomorrow.

I already know of one bug off the top of my head which I'll try fixing today but dammit it requires editing both PAPI and this mod ;(

I uploaded a new version. If you already had this installed:
1. Reapply the phpinclude edit
2. Upload the new (1.0.8) version of PAPI

So, can somebody test this? Just create a dummy user, log in as him, and spam your board.

Why are the coolest and most functional mods never installed?
