yeah you are just using it as a plugin and nothing to do with the product as there are no vb variables shown for glowhost product

mine is based on [GlowHost] Spam-O-Matic - Spam Firewall stops forum spam
vb variables which is why i suggested using my code as it fits the need for the plugin addon for stopforumspam

I am using this plugin
with the above coding as
Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: useradmin_edit_column1
Title: Submit to StopForumSpam.com
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

then putting in the above code

If this is wrong say

its fine as you are using it as a seperate plugin from this product

i just meant that the code i changed is based on the product itself thats all

This mod has been a life saver. I just want to point out, though, that I finally got around to changing my Human Verification Options from ReCaptcha to a very easy Question and Answer, and now I hardly have any spam even getting to the SFS check stage. I used to see one every few minutes, no I only have one every several hours. Pretty awesome.

I lost the stats in the WGO box. whats the code to re-insert it manually?

An uninstall and install isn't working.

Newbie to forums here, I just purchased and attempted to install vB5 beta 11 and gave up after 3 installs and then realizing that it was a bad idea to try out a beta when I hadn't done anything beyond HTML in 10 years LOL, and no plug-ins were written for it yet.

Installed vB4.2 P2 with ease after the learning steps above and then installed keycaptcha (LOVE that thing!), SOM and vB Bad Behaviour, thanks to links on vbulletin.com. Got an Aksimet and StopForumSpam keys also. Also added a Q&A to the registration screen. I think with all of that, I may never have much of a spammer problem at all.

Had trouble with getting new "test" users set up, it was pegging every attempt as a spammer, turning SOM off fixed it, but I still wanted it up and running. Read the first 300 and last 200 posts on this thread (roughly) and determined that I hadn't configured it right, but there really isn't a guide for configuring. I figured out from various posts that I needed to

1) disable Akismet in vBulletin and let SOM handle it
2) decrease the SFS remote expiry from 90 days to 10 days (I believe it was this that fixed the registration problem)

Can anyone think of anything else I should consider? I do not have newbies manager on. I do have auto-moderation on, but I might shut this off unless a problem arises.

From reading what I have read on here and vbulletin.com, I am very happy to have found the tools to prevent problems from happening. Now I suppose it's a waiting game to see if the bots can break keycaptcha.

Thank you so much to the developers on this site. The installs went very smoothly...so far, so good!

Thanks.

It's not a good idea to report someone as a spammer unless they have actually spammed your site. This can cause problems for other users who may share that IP from registering at other sites.
