Every Valid Post Becomes Spam

[Tjaden]

Every time any users on my forums (version 3.8.6 Patch Level 1) posts anything, it posts a spam post to the forums instead. Even when I try to post on the forums it becomes a spam post.

Does anyone know what may be causing this? I looked at all of the files in the forum install and none of them appear to have been changed. Is this something someone could have done to the database somehow?

Thanks for any help!

Are you using any of the Spam Management tools in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Spam Management or do you have any modifications for Spam Management?

[Tjaden]

I don't currently have any modifications for spam management. I don't see a "Spam Management" option under "vBulletin Options."

Thanks!

That option is in vB 3.8. Please check again.

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Spam Management

Unfortunately, I don't see the option. I've included 2 screenshots that show all of the options that appear there and "Spam Management" doesn't appear to be one.

Thanks!

There are no options called "Spam Management" under "AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options >" I took some screenshots that I could send you that show all of the options that are there, but I don't think the approved that message because it pointed to links. I'll list the options available below.

Thanks!
