vBulletin Mods

I have this same issue now. I have VB 4.2.1 and SOM version: 2.1.2
I added my known-good groups to the protected users group...

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Shrug. I haven't had one since I installed this a few days ago.

The romanian translation cannot be imported. Is not a XML , its a HTML file.

... this user is reported w/o issue to SFS

only difference i see with the User Registration IP address (first is local)
so question is SOM ignoring local ranges?

The sfs db wont let u add a 192 ip to there db add this plugin as well it will stop any that spam o matic lets in

The better question might be why do you have a spammer who's on your local, internal, network?

Users reported being banned immediately after signup.

After research, it is GlowHost.....

I can't tell you how much frustration this is for me....

We have probably lost tens maybe hundreds of members because of this error.

Sound like you have not set up user group permissions right and its got nothing to do with this mod

Either that or you have it set to ban/scan user names. That one should be turned off, as many people have common names with known spammers in the database. Checking the IP and EMAIL should be left on, though.

This program blocks dozens per day for us, and has never - not even once - made a mistake - on our forum.

I may be stupid... but how to I install this? I downloaded the zip uploaded all the files into the correct directories but can't find the product to install through the AdminCP. There is no readme file in the zip.

Good for you rhody.

For me it did what I described above. And it creates blank pages after sign up.

There is a readme in the zip file
Here s a screenshot how your folder should look like after unzipping.
After uploading you have to use the xml file (highlighted in blue) to install via the ACP

Thank you. Yes I was being stupid. My unzip only unzipped the upload folder...

OK may I say that this is AWESOME so far. Newbies group is a lifesaver. That should put a hitch in their giddyup.

Installed... very2 effective bloking spam, thanks.
