Spam problem

Now that I think about it there is an older mod called "Monkey Stop Spam" or something like that (Search for monkey) that would auto moderate based on a word or words perhaps. Not sure if it was ever updated to VB4 but I'm thinking the 3.x version would likely work on 4.x although I haven't used in years so not sure. AT the very least it would be a decent start to a custom VB4 solution.Leave a comment:

Here's some .htaccess stuff to block many known spambots:

There's no built in options to auto delete a message based on the content, but you could check on vBulletin.org. It may not be difficult to create.👍 1Leave a comment:

Thanks but do not understand the advantage of using "Global Ignore".
I mean. This type register with a new user> makes spam> I sense it> and ban and delete your posts (spam-o-matic)
Then he will not be able to publish to that user, but if you register again, spam reissue.
This type register with a new user> makes spam> I sense it> and I put in "Global Ignore" and messages are hidden from the public
First I have to detect it. Before your messages will be detected visible.
My problem is that registers with new users and even makes the spam, I can not detect it. Always put the same phrases.
I understand it's "Global Ignore"?
Thanks for your help

"Harvey" may be the translation of :"Global Ignore" previously called the Tachy Goes To Coventry. - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...8afdb5b6a73e75👍 1Leave a comment:

If he is satisfied when he can log in and publish spam, you can set him into Harvey mode. He will be the only one seing his own posts then, others will not be able to see it.👍 1Leave a comment:

This person will sign up with multiple accounts and never the same IP, sometimes the IP field is empty admincp.
I do not understand:
"You could then just keep That account for him and put him on Harvey"
thanks
PS: sorry for my English

Does that person open new accounts even when he can post and doesn't get deleted? You could then just keep that account for him and put him on Harvey👍 1Leave a comment:

Thank you.
The admincp censor censorship only individual words. I intetnado censor phrases but does not recognize it.
I want to censor, for example: {hello i am}
but then I blame all the {hello} {i} {am}.
Looking for exact phrases. There is something similar?
Thanks again

You can censor entire sentences, yes, but that will still lead to spam of ************ ****** ******************.
If he's using proxies the best thing to do is to just keep banning his accounts until he gives up, or if he is not using a proxy but instead only the last 2 - 5 numbers of each IP are changing then find out his ISP Address and ban that. That should stop him eventually because over time he'll run out of different ISP's if he's not using proxies.
