Stop Spammer

As far as I know it's working with all the new versions of SMF.

Good to know ;-)

Using this great mod on a couple of sites already, and seems to work b=very well.  But just built as new site running SMF 2.0.2 and all seemed to be working except in my custom theme the notification at the top of the page is missing, this bit as in your image attached.

Everything else seems to be working, but I have to switch back to the SMF default theme to see the members waiting approval.

Any help would be appreciated.

Administration Center>Registration>Settings Notify administrators when a new member joins

The line should appear as soon as you actually have members requiring activation

...Or something in your custom theme??

Thanks, already got that set, hence why it works with the SMF default theme.   It must be a problem with my custom theme, but what?

..and custom theme is ?

Sorry, it's one I had made for me originally, but it's available now from GraphicJunki  It's the theme in use here on my site http://guitaristguild.com called "Camera Craniums"

Sounds like you need to make the required edits that were done in the default theme in your custom theme as well. Those edits are not done by default, hence why it's not showing.

This mod stopped working for me about a week ago, with the following message in the admin panel:

    Mod Stop Spammer is ON but there is no connection just now with Stop Forum Spam. Please try later.
    If the problem persists ask for help in the official support forum.

Does anybody else have this problem? Why would it just stop working all of a sudden?

There have been some intermittent problems with the server at Stop Forum Spam. The team has been working on it and the API connection is not working as of this post.  I can't log into the site right now either.  I am sure pedigree will have it all back running smoothly soon.

[thernlund]

The API seems to be working at api.stopforumspam.org.

Supposedly this is to prevent similar problems in the future.  See their Twitter feed at: http://twitter.com/StopForumSpam

I changed the URL on line 28 of StopSpammer.php to the one above and it works fine.

I noticed the outage yesterday too. I couldn't even visit their website because I was getting "connection reset" errors.

[Texan78]

Seems to be working fine now, at least for me. I am getting...

Mod Stop Spammer is ON, it is up-to-date and the connection with Stop Forum Spam is perfect.

Same here. Looks like the website has resolved it's issues.

It would be fantastic if this mod came with some sort of "check all" script. If your forum has been hit hard with spam, having some sort of time lapsed file that would just check everyone would be fantastic and time saving... Especially when the forum has 5000 members already ha ha.

[Jade Elizabeth]

Also I keep getting these and it's annoying:

Code Select Expand

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

I hear you. When I scanned my member base I had over 25k members. I just started doing a page at a time. It didn't take that long to go through them page by page.

I'm grateful for this life saving mod. In the last few weeks, the database went down a few time for a day or two and the spammer just swarmed in.

That would be a great addition, but unless snoopy has changed his mind recently, I don't expect to see it. He stated a few times that he isn't going to make any major changes or additions to this mod, only what is necessary for SMF core changes. (if needed for next upgrade version) He is working on his Wedge version instead.

When exactly are you getting those, when a user tries to register, or when you do manual checks?

Would you by chance happen to be using Chrome? If so, you may be a victim of the Chrome bug.

When I do manual checks.


ALSO it's not a major addition, it should be a really tiny thing to do that works in the background.
