vBulletin Mods

Ahh, I see it now. Thanks. If the user were to post stuff would it also remove all posts and ban user just as if they didn't?

ETA: Just submitted info. I think I just Delete user now that they haven't made any posts. And they won't be able to register again since their details were sent to the banned DB.

Banned users can still register. WTF?

I updated it but the user tried to register and got the same spam message. Om at a lost now what do I need to change for the user to register?

Thanks

As i have already said do not update it remove all files and install it again. This means remove the xml and all files from the ftp then install it again as if you are doing it for the first time. If this still does not work for you (making sure username is disabled) then login to phpMyAdmin and find glowhostspamomatic_log find this guys name and delete it if you need help with this pm me

Hi, I run into an issue after installing the plugin on vBulletin 4.2.1
as soon as the plugin (GlowHost_-_Spam-O-Matic_v2.1.2_VB4.zip) is intalled registration fails after part 2 which is where you enter username, passwrod and the rest of the information. Browser says the server is not responding. I even tried to disable all the features in the plugin options and the result is the same. As soon as I uninstall the plugin the registration works properly. Please advise on how I can resolve this issue. Thank you!

What is error message check server logs and email see if they have been sent to you. Will be emailed to the one in your config file. Make sure you have uploaded the files to the right folders

I don't know what has been going on lately, but just overnight I had 3 spammers register for my forum and they all got through. They wait a few days before posting, but their usernames are all garbled up.

Looks like you have not uploaded the files. You sure you did not upload the upload folder with the files still inside

I have noticed the latest version in the ops post seems to be messed up the xml as well as the PHP files so I have fixed them try this fixed one

No, I plugged each file from the upload folder in the folders that it needs to go.

I will try them and let you know what happened.
Thank you!

Have you tried to register when plugin is on as seems to be a problem on your register.php
Can you post a list of all plugins you have
Also try using the one i posted above as the ops plugin coding seems to be a bit messed up with the last one he uploaded

Belated big thanks to Force btw. he knows his stuff and was a huge help to me.

How do I know which version I have installed?
