vBulletin Mods

Good mod, catches a lot but also misses a fair bit too.

This is honestly the greatest thing ever made.

Pardon my newbishness, but in the readme.txt is says to "Upload content of the upload folder into you forum root folder". Contained in the upload folder are the following folders:

admincp
includes

The root folder already contains a folder called includes, so I must assume that I copy the "contents of the folders" to the "designated folders" within the root folder. We don't have a folder in our root folder called admincp. We do have one called admincontrolpanel. Would that be where I copy the contents of admincp to?

You have not installed many plugins just take the files and upload them to the same name folders

I got this error message...

I tried adding the tables but not sure what im doing. can someone give me a guide on what to put in here as the Mysql updated.

vBulletin 4.2.0:

I wish there was a way to add this information in the primary post!! I won't explain in detail, but you are running MySQL 5.5 and TYPE=MyISAM is not recognized. Open the XML file with notepad++ and change the 3 occurrences of that to ENGINE=MyISAM and that will correct the problem. Don't block Username with the mod, and if you read the thread, you will see that these statements have been mentioned multiple times. :)

Feature request, or maybe someone can figure out how to do this. But I'd like better presentation of the data in the log.

I'd like to see a histogram graph of how many spammers were blocked per week, per day, per hour, etc. What caused them to be rejected. Country of origin. How many legit users made it through, etc.

That way I could get a sense of what antispam efforts are helping, etc.

Anyway to download the data as a CSV file, then I could just use Excell or Matlab or something.

You already have two such lists available to you. The first is in the Statistics and Logs in the AdminCP, the second is in the database under the table name glowhostspamomatic_log

Date, IP address, Username, e-mail address, and a reason is given. I think that those two lists work just fine for me.

Why is there a link under "whats going on?" that links to this vbulletin.org thread?
Can that be disabled? I already have the affiliate disabled and give thanks.

Can you show a link to this on your site and a screenshot to show what you see as I also have this installed and this is not the case with me or anyone else

attached the image.

when i click it, it takes me to this thread. Shouldn't clicking it show or hide the stats?

I see that its supposed to list who has been blocked ect ect, mine shows nothing at the moment because my forum has been turned off since i just upgraded to 4.2.0.

Turn it off in your SOM settings...

thanks. I overlooked it.

Hi Slugger,

You need to look for the option that reads "Statistics: Link to Spam-O-Matic? - Link "By Spam-O-Matic" in forum statistics to vBulletin.org so others can protect their forums with Spam-O-Matic." and set this to No or Yes.

Located: Settings > Options > "Glowhost - Spam-O-Matic"

Hello there, when I enable this: my forum throws up a 500 internal error when I try to make a new thread or reply to a post.
Any help would be appreciated! :)
