[GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic for vB 3.8 (StopForumSpam, Akismet, Auto-Moderation and more)
Developer Last Online: Sep 2022 
We have released a mod for your vBulletin 3.8 that should stop almost all forum spam on your vBulletin boards. It is basically an (anti)Social Networking RBL to keep your forums clean!
This version is BETA and was developed specifically for vBulletin 4. However we believe this should work on vBulletin 3.8 so we have put it here for you in case you want to try a more robust Spam solution than what is currently available. BETA is not a good word, this is more of an "Unsupported Backport" for earlier versions of vB. The "REAL" Spam-O-Matic system was developed for vB4. This version is for you guys and gals that need to spend less time managing the spamers on your board(s). We hope it helps! The important features should work. The original mod for vB 4 is located here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=248042 IF YOU RUN vB4, MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT THREAD! Look at the URL above, (sorry for caps) This version is for vBulletin 4.x though has been reported to work on 3.6+ We only offer support on vBulletin 4.x as the 4.x version will have features not possible in the 3.x series. This module has the ability to submit new spammer details to the StopForumSpam or Akismet databases automatically, all without any new templates or manual template modifications!  Just install the product in the product manager, upload a few files, configure the system and you are done. (Estimated time: 5-10 minutes) How it works: New registrations are checked against the known spammer database at StopForumSpam.com. If the email, IP, or username exists in their database, the user (or bot as the case may be) is denied registration on your forums. If they make it past the SFS check, they are checked against several Automatic Moderation rules, and are also checked against the Akismet service for known comment spam. A) StopForumSpam: The StopForumSpam Module lets you:
It is completely invisible to humans who are registering that this process is taking place. Bots are stopped dead in their tracks. If a spammer is able to sneak past the first line of defense, and manages to post, then there are secondary and tertiary protections. B) Auto-Moderation: Auto Moderation lets you:
Spammers that make it past the StopForumSpam and Auto-Moderation will be checked against the Akismet service. If they manage to make a post, and then are found on Akismet, they can be auto-moderated. The Akismet settings let you:
If you find a spammer has made it past your 3 lines of defense, and has managed to post on your forum, then you can help the community... The spammer's details can be sent to the Stop Forum Spam and Akismet databases automatically, preventing them from registering or posting on other forums. When other forums do the same, the protection is reciprocated. Simply moderate a post and choose the option to "Delete Posts As Spam..." an then choose the option to "Ban User." Banning the user sends their details to either Akismet, StopForumSpam, (or both) depending on how you set it up. The next version will add a "Spam-O-Matic" option to the Postbit Moderation Tools menu to better streamline the process and make it two-click process instead of the long and cumbersome way that vBulletin Ban options are presented now. This new menu option will be available only for vBulletin 4.x series. API Keys: API Keys are NOT required for this system to stop spammers on your forums. A StopForumSpam API key is required if you want to contribute to the StopForumSpam blacklists by adding your spammers to their database. By submitting spammers you help keep other forums and blogs clean. An Akismet API key is required if you want to enable any Akismet auto-moderation features in this module. You can obtain a Stop Forum Spam API key which is free from stopforumspam.com. Get your StopForumSpam API Key Here You can obtain an Akismet API key from Akismet.com. Akismet offers free and paid API keys so choose your version based on your situation. Get your Akismet API Key Here Why it is better than the other anti-spam solutions on vBulletin.org:
Compatibility: vBulletin 4.0.x - but for 4.x you should GO HERE instead. vBulletin 3x versions that have been reported to work: *vBulletin 3.8.4 Patch Level 2 *vBulletin 3.8.5 *vBulletin 3.8.6 Patch Level 1 *vBulletin 3.8.7 *vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 1 *vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 2 (with this mod) (Add your version here by sending us a PM or post in the thread!)

Is there a log or a way to see if it is working?
I installed it yesterday and noticed my registrations have dropped considerably. Some are getting in but I would really like to know if it is working properly. D. No members have liked this post.

It looks like you didn't upload all the files to your sever, particularly that file from the includes folder.
