GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic plug-In 1.2.8
We have released a mod for your vBulletin 4.0.x 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 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.
The Mod WORKS With vBulletin's New Facebook Integration.
This module works with all of the Facebook functions that are built into the vB4 series and adds some additional Features such as Auto-moderation and Akismet post checking.
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:
Check a registrant's IP address.
Check a registrant's email address.
Check a registrants Username.
Disable or enable any of the above checks.
Block and log, or allow and log known spammers.
All registration attempts are logged for your viewing pleasure.
Several other performance tuning options
If they are not found in the StopForumSpam database or are allowed registration by your rules
Their registration details are passed to the built-in vBulletin registration system. (Human Verification Etc)
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:
Define how many URLs a new member can post before being sent to moderation.
Define keywords that will send a post to Auto-moderation (viagra, porn, meds, etc)
Define minimum post count to avoid Auto-moderation.
Excludes admin and moderators from Auto-moderation.
Completely disable Auto-moderation if you don't want it.
B) Akismet Service
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:
Set the number of posts that Akismet will check from each user.
After this number is exceeded Akismet checking will be disabled for that user.
Auto-Submit spammers that post on your boards back to the Akismet service
So that other forums and blogs do not do not receive the same spam.
Completely disable the Akismet service.
Punitive Actions:
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!."
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.
