Hi, Thanks for this Mod.

Is it possible in a new version to have one button / option on the Administrative drop down list on the forum to do:

Added remove user, post, ban to user profile same as (options in admincp under "Quick User Links")

All in one go ?

This means moderators on our forum can do this task very easily ?

Also if possible when you are looking through your list of new users the options to select multiple new users and with one click do the same ?

I've installed this mod and it seems to work great. So much so I donated $10USD to the author - and soon after I learned my donation was only the second ever for this mod.

2 donations for all that effort? C'mon guys - if you're using this mod, It's probably because you got spam raped at some point and had to spend a LOT of time removing the spam - how much time has this mod saved you? Express that time in dollars and then donate to the author!

WOW! 21k downloads, 4.5k installs, 3.3k replies and only 2 donations? That's some support from the author to do that with no return.

I know, right? It would have taken a substantial amount of time to develop the mod, and for such a poor return it would dissuade them from investing in other mod development.

Where is the info on how many donations have been given I dont see that info on the op post

I don't see anything either plus there are other ways of contributing to this mod like placing a link in the footer of your website to their hosting company. That's were they make their money, not off donations of this mod.

Did not install. Installed different software

There is no indication on vbulletin.org of the donations - I was referring to personal correspondence the author sent me when I dontated - the author made the effort to personally thank me for my donation, and mentioned how many they had received relating to this mod.

This mod places one link on the target forum, and it's a link to this very thread - and that can be disabled. There is an option to enable a link to be visible for their own hosting company, but it is disabled by default (an honourable and appreciated default setting).

If you think for a second that most users would enable this setting to promote their hosting service, then you are sadly mistaken - did you? If 1000 people enabled this, then maybe that meant a few new customers their way - and they wouldn't be making that much money from each customer judging from their product offerings.

And it's where, not were.

Support what you use and value. Donate.

Checking 'Bad Words' in Title
by Scott.Austin
02 Jul 2015 19:36

Recently added SOM and the 'bad word' list is working great; however, it only checks the bpdy of the message and does not check the title. Spammers will post the information they want in the title and then just garbage (e.g., fkjdasfjksadljfsa) in the body of the message.

Any thoughts on how to configure SOM to check the title; as well as, the body of the message?

Second this. We're getting a ton of spam on a forum where the titles contain matching words in the 'bad word' list, but the body is just gibberish.
Is there a way to check the titles as well as the body?

Hi Guys

Anyone come across this type of error? It occurs when I mark a post for moderation and then use the spam-o-matic option in the drop down menu to delete, block and submit to the SPAM database. After clicking, screen goes to white and the following error appears

Fatal error: Class 'vBSEO_Storage' not found in /homepages/0/XXX/XXX/XXX/SMF/includes/class_dm_user.php(2350) : eval()'d code on line 1

The process still works, i.e. deleted, blocked and submitted though.

Like some of you, I stopped using VBSEO when they stopped operating, but simply disabled the plugin, never removed it.

any ideas?

Thanks

Remove vbseo . . . .

Is there any way to remove Spam-O-Matic from the postbit?

I have hidden the IPs even from Mods on the forum, but this way if they choose a post, then choose "Spam-O-Matic" and "Proceed", they can see every user's IP and email, which is not something i would like to happen :(
