Apologies in advance, this is a copy of the 3.6/3.7/3.8 mod that has been verified to work in 4.0 (its so that I dont get a billion PMs asking if it works in 4.0)
This provides access to a RBL type system for forum admins, listing known spam IP / email / usernames. The RBL database is provided by <b><font color=red>[Chỉ có thành viên mới xem link được. <a href="register.php"> Nhấp đây để đăng ký thành viên......</a>]</font></b> You do NOT need an API key from the website in order to access the database. only to submit data if you should wish to do so.
At the point of user registration, the mod checks if the IP number / provided username / email addresses appear on a block list and can block the registration.
Whilst this isnt the most perfect way to stop all forum spam, its another step that spammers have to overcome.
What it does
It checks with a remote database of known forum spammers. Their IP number, email address and forum username are tested and based on your configuration, you can reject / log / accept user registrations based on what you get back.
This version doesnt have
- whitelisting or the ability to submit users to the database but it will within the next week.
- automatic user deletion / post / PM purging. There are good tools out there already, this does something else.
Instructions are included in the installation.txt file - PLEASE read it first and dont forget to actually upload the files in the upload folder, otherwise it WILL kill your registration progress and you wont see the log file options in admincp.
Changes to vB
- 3 new database tables
- 2 database table alternations
- No new templates.
- 2 Hook (register_addmember_process & register_addmember_complete)
Ive tested it but had feedback that it works with versions as old as 3.6.2... Support should go back to older versions, as long as they have hook support for register_addmember_process / register_addmember_complete
For code to submit spammers to the database, check this post for code changes
<b><font color=red>[Chỉ có thành viên mới xem link được. <a href="register.php"> Nhấp đây để đăng ký thành viên......</a>]</font></b>
Reported to work
- 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.9, 3.6.10, 3.7.0, 3.7.1, 3.7.2, 3.7.3, 3.74, 3.80, 3.81, 3.82, 3.83, 3.8.4, 4.0beta3, 4.0 Gold, 4.2pl1,2
Installers should remember to refresh their ACP navigation window when they first install it so they can see the new log file menu item.
REQUIRES MySQL 4.1.1+
There is a small mod, coded by Wired1 that will allow you to submit spammer details to the database from the admin control panel, here <b><font color=red>[Chỉ có thành viên mới xem link được. <a href="register.php"> Nhấp đây để đăng ký thành viên......</a>]</font></b> This relies 100% on javascript being enabled and makes no tests that it is enabled.
You need to have an API key from <b><font color=red>[Chỉ có thành viên mới xem link được. <a href="register.php"> Nhấp đây để đăng ký thành viên......</a>]</font></b> in order to submit data, its free and easy to get... You DONT need an API key in order to use this mod however, only to submit spammer data.
Issues are
- The usergroup permissions / view details etc DONT work. I jumped the gun and put the permissions controls in there before I put the code in. Please delete the includes/xml/bitfield_vbstopforumspam.xml file and rebuild your postbit
Installation
- Follow the instructions in the zip file, that includes the file upload the correct folders.
Please click Installed
The original thread is at <b><font color=red>[Chỉ có thành viên mới xem link được. <a href="register.php"> Nhấp đây để đăng ký thành viên......</a>]</font></b> where there is a wealth of knowledge about the mod, please ask questions in there.
