vBulletin Mods

The setting you changed should help, but what I was talking about was the User Banning Options within vB settings. The reason I use this option if I need to is because I have mine set to allow registration if StopForumSpam is down, or not able to retrieve the information. The member is allowed to register, but then are placed in the New Member category that I created.

New Member: Not able to post URL's, can not use signature, can not post pictures, have access to see blogs, but can not leave comments. I have this set to 2 on post count before they become a registered member. S-O-M should automatically moderate the post for me, but if for some reason it doesn't then I have the logs and can ban the e-mail, and or IP address in vB if I have to. So far I've only had a couple of spammers get through on my test site.

Hi there, I've got Auto-Moderation: Enable set to "Disabled" and yet I am still getting new users who post links in their posts moved to auto-moderation. I would like to avoid that from happening - any assistance? Thanks!

Well, I don't have full information on your settings to be able to really help you out.

1) Did you create a new members group and if you did do you allow for URL's and pics? Those are part of the permissions that need to be adjusted. However, if you are not placing anyone in a new member group then make sure that Newbies Manager: Put New User Into Newbies Group? is set to NO.

2) I haven't ever tried it but maybe set Newbies Manager: Promotion From Post Count
to 0 and have them moved directly into the registered member area.

To be hones you may not want to use this modification. You would probably like vBStopForumSpam. It does not have built in auto moderation, it is just for registration. It is reported to work with vB 4.

run this

Any chance we can get a blog spamming feature? I have spamomatic installed but just got 3900 spammy blog posts over the past day.

Make a new user group that has access to blog posting and don't let normal users post to the blog then you can set it that after x amount of posts they get auto moved to the new group you can also make it that the first post is modded this way it will stop all spammers. On another note if spammers are registering then I would look at your Spam O Matic settings and see why.

Ok call I did this and still get Database error as above

MySQL Version : 5.5.23-55 I would say this is your problem needs to be downgraded

Ok thanks for the answer unfortunately that isn't gonna happen so I will wait till there is an upgrade to support 5.5.23-55 but I will keep this is mind

Mate I have MySQL Version : 5.5.23-55 and I have no problem running this mod.

as you dont have all the same things he has or the same hosting does not mean it will work even if you do have the same mysql version

I'm having a weird problem with this mod.

When I have it enabled, any time I try to save anything on the admin site (not just within this mod, but anywhere) it will time out. As soon as I disable this mod, the problem goes away.

Here is what my host said about the issue. Again this seems to go away when I disable this mod...

Your problem is not MySQL but the code.

Change all occurence of

to

in the XML and that will solve the DB Errors.
