MyBB Hacks

This looks very great, I will give it a try, thanks Zinga Burga

my forum is using myBB ver 1.6.10
the spamalyser is extracted and has 2 main folder: ADMIN and INC
I keep both folder in a folder: SPAMALYSER, then copy this folder into my server, under: /sites/forum.teriosrush.net/www/inc/plugins
the file spamalyser.php also copied under ..../plugins.

But when i open adminCP, in plugin, there is error:



Please advice for procedures/tutorial to install this plugin

Upload those folders to your forum root directory.

I copied those 2 folders into : /sites/forum.teriosrush.net/www/inc/plugins
In AdminCP, the SPAMALYSER option is not available
How to display it ?

I'm too stupid to use this plugin. I dont want to block or ban users for posting links but I do want to block the threads and posts if they contains certain words. Lets say I want to block "XXX" and a word is "HELLOXXX3", can I somehow block that post?

Can anyone please explain how I can use this plugin to set it up the way I want to?

This plugin doesn't have support for this unfortunately.
It's something that I plan to add, assuming I continue working on it.

Would be great if you could move a user to a specified group if they've attempted to make a post that came back with x spam rating.

I'm not sure what you mean by "post that came back"...

Unfortunately, Spamalyser is focused on post actions as opposed to modifying user accounts (eg, it will never ban a user).
I suppose the option isn't particularly harmful, but it isn't the focus here, so don't count on it ever being added.  Sorry about that.

Fair enough, thanks.

Is there any flag attached to a user that would be visible in the DB once they've been blocked by Spamalyser?

Essentially, I have a quota in my email campaign service, and don't want to waste it on essentially junk users.

You can always query from the log to see if a user has been blocked.

I don't think Spamalyser is in the right position for basing your email quota on.  It's post based, not user based; ideally, you'd try to stop the users from registering in the first place to reduce your bulk email run.
For example, spammers that register and don't make a post for a month - Spamalyser wouldn't be able to help you with that.
I suppose a second level of defense after the registration filters would be to periodically clean out spam accounts (there's some rules that you can try to use for this).

Some alternative ideas:
- make the admin emails opt-in instead of opt-out (I doubt spammers bother (un)ticking that checkbox on the registration form)
- only send emails to those who have been registered for a certain period, and those who have posted recently (are long inactive members really still interested in what goes on?)
