What Does This Hack Do?
---------------------

* Notice: Please read the features and more below. If you have any questions please feel free to find support in the thread or at my forum!
Be sure to read the instructions closely since this is a double deal concerning different versions.
User the Store Hack Instructions if you're using a store and the regular instructions if you're not!

+++++++ Post Killer - What is it? +++++++
Allows you to seperate the spammers from the rest of the forum.
It will create a new post count called spam posts.
You will then be able to change the minimum amount of characters before a post is considered spam from the Admin CP.
Includes configuration for disabling Spam Killer from Administrators and Moderators!
Spam Posts are shown on the postbit right under the post count!
Post Count Deletion has been taken out in the deletion of posts and threads to keep post counts from falling into negatives when pruning or deleting!
Also i know some members were looking for taking out the drop of posts while deleting threads and posts
Another Addition is New Member Spam Killing. You can enable it or disable it from Admin CP as well.
If you enable it you can also configure the amount of posts before Spam Killing Begins on Newer Members.

+++++++ Lesane Store Hack Post Killer - More? Yep +++++++
Some History:
I honestly don't use Lesane's Store Hack. I really like the set up and think its a great hack, but just never used it.
but Hot Dogg requested such an addon so why not right Enough Talk

More Features? :
Not only does the Lesane Store Hack get all of the features of the Regular Post Killer Hack it gets a special feature!
Since it's based off of Points System it allows users to gain posts while posting.
But with the Spam Killer you have the ability to set the Spam Killer to actually take away a specified amount of points from the user rather then them gettig points for spamming
And its also controlled in the Admin CP.

+++++++ Differences? +++++++
The difference between the two hacks is that not only does the Lesane Store Hack get an extra feature but they're also based differently.
Since Lesane's Store Hack already has a set database storeadmin i used that so that the options to be configured are in the storeadmin.php
As for the regular Spam Killer they're in vbulletins setting options
Well i hope that all members... both the Store Users and regular users enjoy this hack and have some fun killing Spammers

Sorry but once again i don't have any screenshots -_- but i did beta test it so enjoy it... If anyone could provide any i would appreciate it

Hot Dogg the only thing i didn't add in was the smileys inclusion wasnt' sure about that but i did and some other features enjoy man

Edit: quick fix in the lesane store setup thanks to Lovaboye For details on the two fixes view [ Here ]

[Dark Shogun]

Installed great. On to the next hack.

Not sure what I did wrong....but after it was installed, post counts, nor $$$ changed. Admin CP was set to count spam for admins, I have the Store Hack. No errors were given...just no changes in the post counts were made (both for regular posts and for the new spam post count).

[g-force2k2]

did the store points calculate correctly?

[Apok2002]

Nothing did. It was weird. It all just stopped working. I could post UNDER the spam setting, or OVER it...and the post count, spam post count, AND the store points ceased calculating.

Weird thing was, not a single error ever came up. lol

[g-force2k2]

can you show me the coding that you have in the newreply.php?

just where my mod is supposed to calculate? regards... and thanks in advance...

great hack!

A simple request: Is it possible to create a kind of user category "spammer": when they spam too much, you put them in the category and their posts are redirected to the spam count?

[g-force2k2]

i could change their user title to spammer or i could also put them into a new usergroup etc... just tell me some specifics if you can and i will look into such for you... regards...

[azork]

well the only specifics is that when they post, it only increases their spam counts and not the posts count. It's only a security against people who posts many "jsdfcjhsdfksdfgksdfgskdfgksfg" and get over the amount of characters to increase their posts count.

Another question: I don't want the spam count to be involved in the posting hierarchy title. If you don't understand what i mean just go to my forums and see "Posting hierarchy" section: members have to post to climb in the hierarchy and get a new title.

[geniuscrew]

I'm a bit confused with this. Is it possibe to state how many posts a newbie has before spam killing begins, if I'm using Lesane's Store hack?

Thanks

[geniuscrew]

Another problem

Some forums do not contribute to post count [such as my Games Room]

But their money decreases anyway because people post just 5 lettered posts.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks
