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.
1.0.2 - Fixed mod/super mod access bug as well as fixed templates for non-vB default styles.
1.0.3 - Fixed all known remaining bugs, rewrote email system to properly parse emails using native vB functions.
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.
1.5.1 - Fixed bugs, added vBulletin blog comment compatibility.

the problem is magnified if spammer has posted more than 50 posts.
That is configurable through AdminCP settings, you can up the limit if you like.
Folks, I apologize for the lack of progress on converting this to vB4. To make a long story short, I've taken a new job with long hours and I barely have the time to convert my own site over, let alone this mod. If any coder wants to take over the mod, please just PM to give me a heads up.
What happens if the spammer doesn't post? I have gotten bombarded with spam registrations over the past 3 days. I ban them before they have a chance to post. But I have to do all of this through ACP manually.
Is there any way to use spam decimator on the user before they post?
