Nearly three years on, since I posted this.
My site has died on its ass, but it still isn't getting spammed by anybody, bots or otherwise.

After three years, has anybody else got an opinion on this subject?

Thank you for this mod. It's great. 8-) Too bad it doesn't work also for links in the profile fields (signature & website mainly). This mod evolved into this one: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=434&t=2127067 I am no good at coding, and merely put together bits created by ot...

What problem do you have?

Hi, sorry if this a complete noob question, but I'm a complete noob... I understand what to do with the scripts in the edit portion of the installation guide, but what do I do with the SQL section? Where do I enter those 2 lines? Thanks for your help! You need to log into your sites phpmyadmin, and...

This mod is perfect. Zero spam since installed. I use it with the built in newly registered phpbb3 feature that makes it so all new users posts must be approved and they must have at least one approved post in order to post without having to be approved (whew). Zero spam. The other bigger mod is ov...

Works fine.

Hi Ozrock, As these are two similar, but separate mods, could you post in the spam hammer mod thread for support. The mod is still RC, so shouldn't really be used on a live board yet, but we don't seem to have many reports of failure? It looks like the automod is having difficulty with a blank space...

1. I am not sure about the modx.prosilver.en.xsl file asn whether we have to do something with this. 2. Do I do a query in phpmyadmin for that data at the top of the install xml page? 3. How do I test it to see it works. Hi Ozrock, 1: The modx.prosilver.en.xsl is just part of the mod package instru...

I'd love to get stuck into this, and start sorting it, but I'm way out of my league.
It's been way too useful a mod for me, absolutely killing the spammers, to fall at the last hurdle?

Hi Pilch. The database install "oddity" is known, we haven't figured that out yet? It appears that no entries are made in the ACP, but closing the browser and opening the ACP again brings them up? 1: Don't run the zombie purge, unless you want to delete all zero posters older than the conf...

That's thanks enough Pilch

Glad you like it.

Download the mod from the link in the first post:
Spam hammer mod

Then just follow the instructions in the install_mod.xml
There is only one file to ftp, which is included.
It's very easy to install.

I can find the above IF statement but there are not three lines subsequent to this within the IF braces, there are hundreds. Did you mean to add the modification *before* the closing brace? in /posting.php place the edit after this if ($submit || $preview || $refresh) { $post_data['topic_cur_post_i...

This is the the relevant section of my posting.php if ($submit || $preview || $refresh) { $post_data['topic_cur_post_id'] = request_var('topic_cur_post_id', 0); $post_data['post_subject'] = utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('subject', '', true)); $message_parser->message = utf8_normalize_nfc(request_va...
