Moderators Functions - Spam Decimator

This is an updated version of my previous extension, Spam Decimator 1.0.x. This is for vB versions 3.7.0 and up. It may work with 3.6.8PL2 and up, but I cannot confirm this.

Features Include:

-Ban a spammer with two clicks.

-Delete all threads by a user (soft or permanent, ACP configurable)

-Delete all posts by a user (again, soft or permanent, choice is yours)

-NEW! Delete any spam comments and log them as well.

-Permit or deny mod/super mod access through ACP

-Email the spammer saying pretty much haha, caught you sucker (default email can be configured using ACP)

-Email the webmaster informing him/her of the attack

-Option to move all soft deleted threads to a specified forum (for safe keeping in case IP addresses or whatnot are later needed for legal proceedings or whatever)

Most everything here works with vB native functions (i.e. delete_thread, etc.), so forum, thread, and post counters are automatically updated.

Install

Installing is quite simple. Simply upload the included files (three of them, decimator.php, includes/functions_decimator.php, and images/misc/spambutton.gif) preserving hierarchy and import the product file, and voila! you're done and ready to take on any spammer who comes your way.

***NOTE: if template hooks do not work for you, see the install file included in the package for instructions.

Other Stuff

**UPDATED!!!

Tested and functioning with vBulletin 3.7.1. I make no guarantees about compatibility with other versions.

Spam Decimator 2.0.0 is slated for a late June 2008 release, with a features list to follow.

That's basically it. Enjoy, and as always, click install

Changes:
1.0.1 - Fixed problems with xml product file, validated for use with vB 3.5 Gold release.

1.0.4 - Attempted to fix bug I can't find...updated main template.

1.0.5 - Fixed no mod access bug.

1.5.0 - Added post count limit to be decimatable, added plugin to control display of Decimator button. Fixed minor issues, rewrote several functions for improved performance.

It works fine on 3.8.1. Probably ok on 3.8.2 as well.

Would be nice to be able to turn off the email to admin notifying of a ban. We have to use this mod several times every day.

Uncheck the 'Email Webmaster' box.

I would if there was such an option. But there isn't. Not in the Spam Decimator settings page, anyhow.

It's in the Decimator pop-up, not the settings. Look right above the Decimate button. There's a check box.

There's also this link that I just mentioned on the last page:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=38

It removes the option so that you don't have to rely on your mods to uncheck the box every time.
