SpamBuster v1.0.0 (Stable): Identify, log and remove spam posts on your forum
Developer Last Online: Mar 2013
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.

Here are a few rules that I have added due to online casino bots adding them to my guest forum. I have applied them, but they don't seem to be working. Do I have to restart the plugin ever time I update the rules? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Code:
regexp:t_cardstud:10:title:"/online seven card stud/i" regexp:t_888casino:10:title:"/888 Casino/i" regexp:t_freeslots:10:title:"/free slots/i" regexp:t_onlinepoker:10:title:"/online poker tournament/i" regexp:t_videopoker:10:title:"/video poker/i" regexp:t_pokerrooms:10:title:"/online poker rooms/i" regexp:t_freeslots:10:title:"/free slots/i" regexp:t_baccarat:10:title:"/baccarat/i" regexp:t_online7:5:title:"/online seven card stud/i" regexp:t_roulette:10:title:"/roulette/i" regexp:a_888:10:any:"/888\.com/i" regexp:a_ajcarvelli:10:any:"/ajcarvelli\.com/i" regexp:a_7cardstud:10:any:"/seven card stud/i" regexp:a_stud:5:any:"/stud/i" regexp:a_baccarat:5:any:"/baccarat/i" regexp:a_casino:5:any:"/casino/i" regexp:a_online:5:any:"/online/i" regexp:a_free:5:any:"/free/i" regexp:a_slots:5:any:"/slots/i" regexp:a_keno:5:any:"/keno/i" |

Brilliant parabat, thanks for that. I hope others will share their rules too.
How did you test these rules? The best way is to set up a new test users with 0 posts then try posting using that account. |

Most of the spam I get is in the public guest book forum. So unregistered users can post comments and that is usually how the bots add to the site. With all these rules in place I'm still getting them onthe site. Not sure why. Do I have to specify a spamuser in the admincp? -parabat |

Jimbo:
A really nice feature would be if it would not allow the message to be posted at all for certain rules. I'm getting lots of pharmaspam lately - the messages are getting moderated, but I still have to go clean them up. It would be great if I could keep them from even being posted at all if they trigger the spam rules. |

Great Mod, thanks
The answer may be here already, but I'm pretty new to this and not seeing it. I want to add rules to my board but I can't figure out if there is a wildcard or not I want to add a rule for sex that will be triggered as well by sex! sexy sexual bisexual. You get the idea, how do I do that ? Thanks |

Great mod, I hope you keep up with it and keep updating it for new versions. I'm running 3.55 right now and it works just fine.
I'll be upgrading to 3.6 soon. |

I received the same error as above today
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sb_test() However that was when I attempted to approve the post from the moderator control panel. I was able to approve the post right from the thread though. I'm quite happy doing it that way. |
