vBulletin.org Forum - Anti-Spam Options - [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic

This mod is absolutely amazon, within 72 hours it had stopped over 3,000 registrations and posts, absolutely amazing. They are still hitting my site hard but Spam-O-Matic is holding them off, well done guys. I recommend taking the time to get an Akismet and StopForumSpam API as this stops more getting through the net (some do)

This mod is amazing... I had to enter my forum each morning to delete posts for 30 minutes... now I can breakfast with no stress :)

Will this work with vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3?

Works with 4.2.1 on localhost, so not the best place to test..

Will go live soon...

Thanks...

Yes

It works fine in vB Suite 4.2.1, tested.

Has something suddenly broken. In the last 2 days, I've had 8,000 new members. Of course, 7,998 are spammers. Why isn't Spam-O-Matic catching these?

Here's a tiny bit of the log file:

Lots of obvious spammers, what's wrong?

They got through because they are not listed at SFS

A quick search of some of the records at SFS returns -0- entries for IP or email

Only the 2 in red were tagged by SFS; the others are not found:

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

All IPs come back to China.

You should try a second layer like - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=289463

We have both installed.

Thank you sooooo much for this. 85 spammers stopped in less than 24 hours:up::up::up:

There were only two of them ips missing and some of the emails from sfs db I have now added all of them

Thanks for adding them.

I thought that since the user name was dynamically allocated that the IPs may be never-ending as well.

We use & rely on the SFS plug-in; the other one simply aids in the process.

Its a realy usefull addon
But what i missing is a check, if the ip is an actually tor exit node

Warning: require_once(includes/functions_ghsom.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/register.php(338) : eval()'d code on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions_ghsom.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/51/3543551/html/register.php(338) : eval()'d code on line 10

Anyone know how to fix this,

Just installed and I got this message. I see the various responses to this but I am sure I uploaded the files correctly. I uploaded the contents of the Upload folder, not the directory itself. I browsed through each file in the Upload folder and there is a matching item on the server in the same place (including the file in the XML subfolder). Not sure what to try next. Any suggestions? I am getting killed by spam and would love to try this.
