Stop Forum Spam

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

 

Just thought I'd share this info. This might be old but I've only recently discovered this: http://www.stopforumspam.com/'>http://www.stopforumspam.com/'>http://www.stopforumspam.com/

 

This website keeps database of all spammers reported by its users, and has various mods/plugins for few different forum software. The mods allow you to filter out spammer registrants and stop them on the spot, by checking their IP/E-mail address against the database on http://www.stopforumspam.com/

 

The mods also allow you to submit new spammers into the database of http://www.stopforumspam.com/ so the people who use it can also contribute to the cause :clap:

 

You need to register however on their forum to be able to get an API key. Paste the API key into the mod and voila.

 

The full list of contributed mods & plugins for this website can be found at: http://www.stopforumspam.com/contributions

 

I've used this on 2 SimpleMachinesForum's I've created and so far they work great. Hope this is useful for some forum admins having trouble with spammers :P
