The Dutch language file has a mistake in this line:

$txt['stopspammer_enable'] = 'MOD Stop Spammer' in/uitschakelen;

I think it should be:

$txt['stopspammer_enable'] = 'MOD Stop Spammer in/uitschakelen';
Bluesforum.com   2.0                     Bluesforum.nl   2.0
Rockabilly-forum.com   2.0              Bluesharp.nl   2.0
Bungalowpark-forum.nl   2.0        Eee pad forum   2.01
Cristiano Ronaldo   2.02              Lockout Tagout   2.02

Thanks a lot for this great mod.
With the recent attacks to SMF foruns, it is very useful.

Security mods including this one, were the first I installed when deploying my site and it appears my paranoia was well founded. No forum package, or any other package for that matter, will ever be entirely impervious to every possible attack no matter how well written.

QuoteThere is currently no way to do it.

Remains in red to maintain this "data", but (if it is necesary) I could add the feature to "clean out" a user. (snoopy_virtual time ago suggested me this case)

That would be great!

Also it would be nice to choose how to scan.. now i have several accounts for approval, simply because the name is listed... but they are very common names like Daisy or something... It would be great to have an option to only check for IP and mail adress and not on name...

And it would be nice to have an option to check all members.. since i now have 2000+ members and it will take me ages to scan everyone manual...

But... most of all.. thank you for this wonderfull mod!!! Im shur this will add more safety..
Sorry for my poor English, but i think it's probably better then your Dutch :)

FragaCampos

Yes, an option to sort by the red icon would be great, i have 5000+ users and it's not easy to search through the entire list.
Anyway, it would be just an addon, since the mod works fine.

Ok, in the next version I will add this feature.

I sorry, I will not make it. I think it would be "work used" for compromises the functionality and security that has the MOD. (Many spammers would can be catched only by the name).

In contrast, one feature of the MOD, is that the administrator can take control of all blocks, so you can check if there are false positive (which in my opinion, is the smallest of the cases).

But, If you don't like check the user name, then you can do this manual change:

Search in $sourcedir/Subs-Members.php
$remoteXML = 'http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?' . ('127.0.0.1' != $check_ip ? "ip={$check_ip}&" : '') . 'username=' . urlencode($check_name) . '&email=' . $check_mail;

Replace by:

$remoteXML = 'http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?' . ('127.0.0.1' != $check_ip ? "ip={$check_ip}&" : '') . '&email=' . $check_mail;

Currently you can do massive check, with one button.

In: Admin > Members > View All Members

Select the users suspects and then make Click in Check Button.

More massive? All the users? It isn't recomendable, the process could fail for timeout.

Sort by Red Icon could be many work :'( I shouldn't do it for short or medium term.

In contrast, you can found easily the "Red Icon User" in the List:

Admin > Members > Awaiting Approval

:P

Then, this feature I think isn't urgent (or innecesary)

Thanks for your comment :)

MissyNL

oke.. great.. yes.. if you say it that way.. maybe it's then better to leave the namecheck.

I have seen you have updated the mod today... what are the differences?

I was referring to the members that are already registered before the installation of this mod. When i install this mod, does it recognize the spammers in the list of already registered members?

Oh, ok, thanks for do this question.

Don't autorecognize the spammers already registered before install this MOD.

But you can check all the users or only the suspects in:

Admin > Members > View All Members

Then select the users suspects and then make Click in Check Button.

This is very strange. I think, is "failure" in the package manager.

Does this happen with other MODs?

Try uploading again Packages.template.php

Esto es muy extraño. Me parece una "falla" en el administrador de paquetes.

¿También ocurre eso con otros MODs?

Intenta subir de nuevo el Packages.template.php

Ok, this seems to be an error in SMF (I think i have seen this in the bug tracker). For some reason this number is increased without having users waiting approval.

You can reset to 0 by following these step. :)

naitram

having finally caught one the number already reset it self, thanks for the help

MissyNL

thanks :D   worked like a charm!

geminiguy

 Sorry if I might have missed the answer to this question but, will this mod be updated now to the latest 1.1.9?

Gort

Seems to work fine with 1.1.9. Then again, I've only just installed it.

Great mod and many thanks to the mod creator for making it. :)

Poppet34

Hello, I am trying to get this mod installed.  My boards are 1.1.9 and I have no other mods installed.

I tried to install by using the package manager, but I was not able to do it.  I have never been able to use this feature for some reason.  Anyway....so I did the manual install, updated each of files as directed.

Now the last step is to run the following queries manually on Install_1.php

INSERT IGNORE INTO
{$db_prefix}settings
(variable, value)
VALUES ('stopspammer_count' ,'0'),
('stopspammer_enable','1'),
('stopspammer_show01','1'),
('stopspammer_faildb


I am a bit lost on this step.  I assumed that it was to be done in phpmyadmin, but that didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

To make sure i understand this. if a member comes up as a spammer and is indeed a spammer. then i would reject him.  and if they arnt i would approve them??
