vBulletin Mods

Try the wget thing I sent the the other Mark earlier;

right now i am in version 2.0.2 if i upgrade will i lose all my spam o matic stats at the bottom of the forum????

Overwrite all files in the FTP then install new XML overwriting old one then you won't

Nice plugin. I wish it had option to delete already registered spammers. My forum has become spammer paradise with around 10,000 odd spammers. (Daily around 400 - 500 registrations)

I don't mind paying for this (if you can plan to include this as a paid feature)

This used to be a feature, didn't it? I will have to turn this off, I had a moderator accidentally click on one single post from a 2500+ post member and the system deleted five spammers and one of my best members .... JUST GONE.

This tool is very powerful, but I do NOT want all of my 20+ moderators to have access to perm. delete everything.

... ok, so the best solution for those of us with moderators is to configure this this.

Easy Cleanup: Enable -- Enabled
Easy Cleanup: User Action -- Ban User
Easy Cleanup: Permanent Thread/Post Delete -- No
Easy Cleanup: Allow Override -- No

Configuring your StopForumSpam to this degree will allow the spam to be removed from the site of the typical member. The moderators will be able to ban users and soft-delete (can be restored) any number of messages and/or posts.

This will prevent a catastrophe like I have seen on one of my sites where a moderator accidentally removed one of my best users from the system simply because he posted inside of a spam thread asking why there were so many spammers. With these settings, your user will be banned and his/her posts will be soft-deleted, which can easily be restored when you find out about it.

Have a plugin I made if you want it that will do it for you but have you tried using the prune option in the admin panel

Yes, I trued Prune option.. deleted around 7-8,000 users using it but the other 10,000 spammers have activated their accounts so actual accounts and their accounts have been mixed. So difficult to filter manually or using the options provided in prune option.

There are many options in the prune to pick I am sure you can get a few more. Why did you let it get so bad before you done something about it. As I said before I have a plugin you can use that will remove all posts they made and delete them if you want yes it only does one member at a time but it's a good program pm me if you want it

Actually this happened in the month I was away.. busy with some other things and when I checked the stats today, realized that almost 400 - 500 members had registered on daily basis. I will PM you in few minutes.

I have gone back 15 pages but can't find anything posted about this bug -

When a user trys to register they get this error -

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Can somebody please point me to a solution? I have done a full re-install, and the old version used to work fine for me.

Has anyone else's easy cleanup disappeared? I noticed on my forum it was just gone. I tried updating and it is still gone. Does anyone have any tips?

A client sent us an email about this same issue.

Make sure to upload the contents of the upload/ folder to the forum directory, not the upload folder itself.

Hey,

Noticed somewhat a bug that I hope can be rectified.

In the auto-moderation bad words, I have these

However, they must be alone in order to trigger the mod to act upon the post. For example, if user posts something.com or [url=something].. it does not work.

How can this be fixed?

Only way I see is to remove them
