You can, because you are a trusted user. Anyone that joins your forum, and posts characters like that before x posts,or x days will get blocked. If you have set up a new test user, try it out.

Don't forget, it has to be 95% of the text, so try repeating it a bit,or post a chunk of the stuff you posted earlier.

Edit to add:
You can change what percentage of the post has to be in unicode characters by changing the setting underneath which characters you want to filter.

Also if we enable the sleeper agent how can we enable certain real accounts that have been disabled but dont have posts?


Also since I am using a diff quick reply how about remove the quick reply box for users that dont have atleast two posts? How can we do that since I am not sure how to stop the spam from users using quickreply.

How about we don't? I don't mean to be rude but if you're using another mod that causes a security issue on your board (the unofficial quick reply mod) then you should talk to that author about how to make it work, imo.

That's not an issue caused by Spam Hammer.

Yeah, but your suggestion of a fix was for SH to disable the quick reply box altogether, and all on account of another unofficial bit of code, when it could probably be solved by asking the other mod author for a bit of help on where to insert the edits in his/her code (and I think someone already suggested this).

As long as I was not asking you, you should not worry about it. If they say no i understand, it wouldnt be a problem. I read your other posts talking about recaptcha and your forms of anti-spam if i were you i would test their mod and give them feedback for THEIR mod not your opinion of your past experiences ...

I beg your pardon? I'm voicing my opinion here, just as you are...

Beyond that, if you've been keeping up in the thread then you should know I was ASKED for more information about the kind of bots/spam I was seeing... but then I think you were just looking for something to pick at. :roll: Carry on... :lol:

"I don't mean to be rude but".... Says it all. Arguing with someone who is not contributing in any way is pointless. Have a good day.

For the user yes, but the ACP strings are in the ACP file. I think the correct way to customize the strings is to add them to your own language file.
Mods often add a file to /language/en/mods/ containing custom language strings ( 'en' being for english in this case - other language folders would be used for other translations, etc...).

I took the liberty of starting one last night. I think it holds all the language strings used by the current filter.
spam_hammer.php

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
*
* spam_hammer [English]
*
* @package language
* @author John T. Folden http://thebluewhalepub.com
* @version $Id: spam_hammer.php v1.0 2011/02/23 03:13 John T. Folden $
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License
*
*/

/**
* DO NOT CHANGE
*/
if (!defined('IN_PHPBB'))
{
	exit;
}

if (empty($lang) || !is_array($lang))
{
	$lang = array();
}

// DEVELOPERS PLEASE NOTE
//
// All language files should use UTF-8 as their encoding and the files must not contain a BOM.
//
// Placeholders can now contain order information, e.g. instead of
// 'Page %s of %s' you can (and should) write 'Page %1$s of %2$s', this allows
// translators to re-order the output of data while ensuring it remains correct
//
// You do not need this where single placeholders are used, e.g. 'Message %d' is fine
// equally where a string contains only two placeholders which are used to wrap text
// in a url you again do not need to specify an order e.g., 'Click %sHERE%s' is fine

$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
	'NO_PROFILE_FOR_YOU'	=> 'Antispam: You can\'t have a profile yet. You need to post a few times first.',
	'NO_LINK_FOR_YOU'			=> 'Antispam: You can\'t have off-site URLs in your sig until you post a few times. ',
	'NO_WORD_FOR_YOU'			=> 'Antispam: Suspicious or offensive word detected. We don\'t want to read that! ',
	'NO_LINK_TOO_SHORT'			=> 'Antispam: Sorry, your first post needs to be just a little longer.',
	'HELP_LINK'			=> 'Click for help',
	'NO_SLEEPER_SPAM_FOR_YOU'			=> 'Antispam: account disabled, please contact an admin.',
));

?>
This should be called from functions_link_filter.php via the command

$user->add_lang('mods/spam_hammer');

But I'm not clear on where best to add it to the code.

It includes the r744 class, but not the above extreme version.

Can you clarify your post a bit, what edits need to be done for the extreme version?
Cheers.
I was just looking at this and there's a mistake in the install instructions -

The instructions indicated for /language/en/acp/board.php is actually a variant (newer?) of the instructions for /includes/acp/acp_board.php.

Also, I think that it should be

Code: Select all

                        'legend3'                => 'LINKS_FILTER_OPTIONS',
in /includes/acp/acp_board.php

Thanks to everyone who has been testing, providing support, and generally helping out.

As the code monkey for this mod I say yes, you MUST read the wiki. I spent an afternoon documenting and illustrating every feature of this MOD so it was easy to understand. Despite that, you insist that the devs spoon feed it to you, then ask for custom coding for (non-final) MODs, and then argue about it with other contributors. This distracts from us doing real testing and feature enhancement, which brings down the whole project. Please, please do not post in this thread again until you have read and understand the wiki documentation. I don't usually flame, but this is the worst case of RTFM I've ever seen.
Please do not PM or mail with questions. Ask in the forum where everyone can share the answer.
