OMG this is getting awfully confusing. I'm still trying to find exactly what I should be editing. There's been so many suggestions and changes to code or which files to edit.. that for someone who normally does not edit SMF files its now reached the point of bewildering.
I've been watching and waiting for clear instructions.. and it would appear Im not the only one.
With all due respect you Hero/Legend guys probably think its a doddle because you know what youre doing. Reading this as someone who usually avoids amending any core files, to be quite frank its about as clear as mud.
Saying things like change code to that a few pages back or even to butchs's code when he starts off "
I did something like this" and finishes with "
I am testing now and hope it works" without ever getting back to us... hardly inspires confidence for what we should be doing especially when later posts talk about package parser giving wrong info.
I regret missing pwhodges post before the link was pulled, because that looks like it would have been the most helpful of the lot.

I have so far
- Uninstalled stop spammer
- Successfully updated to SMF 2.0.15
- Downloaded StopSpammer_v2_3_9
I think I need to edit the file install_2.xml but I haven't a clue what the heck Im supposed to put where.
Is that replacement code or does it just get dumped in the file?
