Also, follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/forumspam) for the latest ipTables and Apache block lists, so you can block spammers at the server level.. why let them waste resources?!

This will work on all versions of vb4. Will work in conjunction with other spam filters, this will just give you more options to kill SPAM.

Installed.
Requested key and received it moments later.
Just waiting for a CN or RU member to try register now actually.
So far so good. Thankyou Koneil.

Easy installation, received my key soon after.

I run this mod in conjunction with SpammersSuck1.0. SS helped me out a lot, but I was still getting 20 or 30, or sometimes more spam registrations each day. Some days worse than others. Since installing this mod I have had only ONE [1] spammer get thru and that was about an hour after install. I just manually added his IP to the ban list. Since that point I have had zero spammers and for that reason I love this mod.

Thanks for developing this koneil.

btw, most of my spammers come from CN

@koneil

Thanks for this great mod. Works really nice. :up:

I would like to request an addon option if I may. Maybe in one of your future releases you can add an option to ignore Usergroup ID's when scanning for spam posts?

Yes that sounds like a great idea.

So what we have coming up in the the next release will be:

1. append message to error block message.
2. ignore usergroup id

Thanks everyone!
