About Developer · **Released**: 03-01-2006

This is the v3.5 version of vbSpamBuster that I wrote for vBulletin v3.0.x This version adds some new features.

What does it do?
It spots posts that could potentially be spam then (depending on option settings) creates a thread alerting site admin/moderators about the post and/or hides the post from view.

How does it identify the spam?
All off the posts for users with a post count of less than 10 (configurable) have their posts checked against a number of rules. Each rule has a different "score". If the total score for the post exceeds a specified limit then the post is deemed to be spam.

Can I add my own rules?
The installer file has a default rule set with it, you may wish to customise the rules in the options section of the AdminCP. The rules system is fairly simple to add to, in simple terms each rule is a perl regular expression and a score.

How do I install it?
Import the product via the Product Manager in the AdminCP. The options group and plugins will be added to your system. Now would be a good time to click the install link on here to record the fact that you've installed it.

How do I configure it?
Head to the "SpamBuster" option group in the "vBulletin Options" section of your AdminCP. Fill in the relevant fields. Further documentation will follow but it should be obvious what each setting does for the moment.

How do I upgrade?
Just run a regular install. It's worth backing up your settings particluarly the rules before performing the upgrade. If you're upgrading from v0.3.2 to v1.0.0 you can just download the attached rules file and add it via the admincp as there have been no code changes.

How can I test it?
Try posting a new thread/post with some trigger values in it. The string ekmas.com should do the trick.

Help it's broken my forum!
Erm, that's not an intended feature. Disable all six of the plugins that are part of the product "SpamBuster" and post an error report to this thread. The forum will work fine.

Why doesn't it do x,y or z?
Because I've either not thought about it yet or I've not written it yet. Please drop a post into this thread with any (sensible!) suggestions.

Can I use it commercially?
You're free to use it for whatever purpose comercially/privately as long as you don't resell the code. It's released under the LGPL, see the link below for futher info. If you find this plugin useful and you'd like to make a donation please use the "donate" button below.

6th April 2006 - v1.0.0 - Stable release: code remains the same but the rules file has changed.

any way to get this mod for 3.6.5 ?

jeryp · #**143** 06-26-2007, 08:34 PM

yes please could this be ported to the latest release as it was great in 3.5 but now the spam is creeping back

rc1320 · #**144** 06-29-2007, 03:43 PM

I really need this for the latest 3.6.x

Does anyone know what I can do to get it to function properly? I am averaging 3-5 daily that I have to manually fix.

cdoyle · #**145** 07-07-2007, 04:21 AM

Hi,
I just installed this hack, but it doesn't seem to be working? At least I can't seem to get it to do anything.

it's installed, it appears to be enabled, but not catching anything or posting in the forum I wanted it too.

I created a new testuser, and created a new post with the subject
BIG MONEY

and then the only thing I put in the post was a URL

http:www.bigmoneyscam.com

and it let it threw?

What am I doing wrong?

here is the config file I'm using

Our work on this updated text is 3 months and 282 replies from our moderators perfecting it! It uses a LOT of known spamming domains, so if your website allows a ton of html links, this wont work very well for you, but you can edit it yourself.

A good bit of re-write and time has gone into it, I hope it helps you as much as it has us.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

This is a fantastic ruleset. Thanks for sharing it. I've included it as the default to SpamBuster v1.1.0 which I'll be releasing in the next few moments.

Nice work Kungfu. I've included code v.similar to that in v1.1.0 too. Thanks.

Let me ask one question will this clean a board of spam thats already been posted. I cant find the answer to that. If it can how can we trigger it. I tried using maintenance but that was unsuccessful.

Simon Lloyd · #**149** 02-15-2010, 10:38 AM

Had to uninstall this off my 3.5.4 it was moderating posts that didn't have keywords listed and prevented inline moderation of the unapproved posts.
