Look inside your /Themes/default/languages/ folder for the file Modifications.italian.php or the file Modifications.italian-utf8.php (depending if you are using UTF8 or not) and add inside that file all those lines.

Hello!

Our forum is getting 50+ spammers registrations a day, and maybe 1-2 spam posts a day, which is pretty good proportion if you ask me (using reCAPTCHA + httpBL). Is there a way automatically delete these blacklisted accounts rather then mark them for approval?

Thank you.

[busterone]

I seem to recall snoopy posting about that some time ago, but I am not sure how long ago, or how many pages back it was. The short answer is probably not. The reason is that there is a possibility for false positives, especially if you have the check username option activated.  My suggestion is to click the red icon next to each name in the approval queue and look at the SFS database results on that registrant.  Often with dynamic IPs, a spammer will get reported and then move on to another IP. An innocent user will then get that same IP later.  Also, there are a lot of common usernames out there, and it is a possibility that the registrant may not be a spammer at all, but that a spammer happened to also use that name at some point.

If the registrant is flagged by two or all three criteria, and there is a long list on that user, then you are pretty well guaranteed it is a spammer, but I have had cases where only the ip is flagged and when I check the SFS database, it was only reported once or twice 6 months earlier with a different username and email address. That is probably an innocent with a dynamic IP and he/she got the misfortune of getting assigned that IP.

I seriously doubt that this mod will ever be coded to auto reject registrations simply for those reasons.

[V@no]

The username is not being checked as it turned out to be more problematic then useful.
As you can imagine check manually 50+ users a day is pretty much full time job, so it's unacceptable.

I don't know if the SFS API allows get the list of records for an IP/email, but if it allows then perhaps the mod could have a criteria at which number of records in the database the registration should be automatically rejected, or even if both IP/email are flagged, then reject. Worrying about possible false positives should be left to the admins, not the mod's creator (other words, having an option is better then not having an option)

[EDIT]
while I was typing this message two more spammers tried to register...

[snoopy_virtual]

That means your mod httpBL is not working.

Looks for the answer I gave to Sea Mac when he reported a similar problem last June:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=366399.msg3081023#msg3081023

You can read also from there onwards, as there was some discussion about that problem at the time.

[V@no]

That means your mod httpBL is not working.

httpBL spam logs shows a new entry every 2-4 minutes, it does seems like it's working.
Unless both honeypot and sfs share the same database it's very much possible that the spammers we get that able register are not in HP database yet. (and no, their IP not showed in httpBL logs)

I'll try your modifications suggestions, but I feel it won't help for this particular "issue"

P.S.
The anti-spam questions is a good idea, but it might not work on multi-language forums, unless a simple math used for the questions/answeres, but that probably won't be good enough.

I'm having problem with reporting a member. I've registered http://www.stopforumspam.com/signup and got API key, added it to SMF settings, but whenever I try report someone the page simply refreshes. I've tried signup for API key with www.example.com/forum/, www.example.com/, example.com/ - nothing works.

Using SMF 1.1.15 with Stop Spammer v3.20. With v3.16 without any API key it worked just fine...

[EDIT]
It seems after reporting a member the MOD does not re-check member and doesn't flag them. After I clicked on "check member" it showed it as flagged. A bug or it's intentional?

Sorry, it's a bug.

[V@no]

Another bug (could be related to the one above), is when a user being checked manually and get flagged, it's status changes to "awaiting approval", but the number of members awaiting approval on top left corner of the page (under admin's name) doesn't get updated.

[V@no]

Could someone please point me where is the part that changes user to "awaiting approval" status during registration? Even if the author disagree that such registrations should be removed immediately, I still would like to have that done even if the changes in the code has to be done manually...

Thank you.

P.S.
Another annoyance is when admin session expired and clicked on "check member" after login it redirects to the list of awaiting approval, not to the check member page.
