Unmaintained TPU: Detect and Block Spam Registrations 1.6.6

Excellent add-on. This is more robust than I could have imagined. And the feature where you can see the TPU Registration Log entry in the moderation queue is essential. I no longer need to block whole countries using GeoIP, thanks to this add-on.

I do have one little problem that I haven't been able to solve, and it's that all posts that fall within the set threshold of "Maximum Messages to Check for Spam" (in XF's Spam Management settings) will be logged in the Spam Trigger Log, even if they don't match TPU's trigger settings, i.e. they are legit posts by new members with 0 score. NOTE though that this is likely not a problem with TPU Detect add-on, but instead a compatibility issue between this and one of my other add-ons.

Five stars, still. Fabulous!! :)

Wonderful add-on! I was getting a glut of spam accounts recently, operated by humans not bots. This made the captcha upon registration pretty ineffective. However having this add-on evaluate the registering user's details such as country of origin, compromised server and StopForumSpam existence really helps to eradicate that problem. I did have to do some tweaking because I feel the default settings are a little too weak but YMMV. It's very customisable which is great. Should be part of Xenforo core. Big kudos to the author!

A really useful tool and great support.

It works great, thanks a lot

It's brilliant Works perfectly and is essential to any XenForo forum. It stops spam registrations very effectively once tweaked as required to your forum.

Really amazing! Hope they come out with a version for Xenforo 2! The build in spam protection is not sufficient!

This really really works. IMO it's the best anti-spam reg add-on available now. Super customizable, should fit the bill for any site. Love the hostname/iSP lookup.

been using this addon for several months now and it's virtually eliminated all spammers once you start tuning the scores and settings for what to block ! A must for any Xenforo forum !

It still works on XenForo 1.5 which is fantastic because I can't think of or find any other anti-spam addons that work as well as this one.

This is literally the best security plugin that Xenforo has to offer. I have been using this in combination with other methods on my forum for several months. This plugin alone has stopped 99.9% of spammers who have attempted to register. Highly customizable, and highly recommended. Thank you for releasing this for free - you're a valuable asset to the Xenforo community.

Hands down one of the best XenForo plugins available. This plugin eliminates nearly 99% of all spam. Please make a version for XenForo 2, I'm holding off on upgrading until it's available. Before this plugin the spam was almost uncontrollable, now it's next to nothing!

This addon has been a HUGE help in keeping spammers subdued! I love how I can tweak so many individual settings to improve the level of effective it has.

An excellent plugin for reducing spam from known geographical areas and network providers which are spam friendly.

The ability to force spam checks for messages until a threshold of 'good' messages is met is invaluable for preventing spammers from posting publically until moderation staff can ban them.

The only spam-killer, that really works. I could remove all the captcha's, the spambots are able to resolve them anyway. Awesome Plugin!!

Along with the built-in anti-spam options in XenForo, this addon has put an end to my spam problem. I was getting occasional spam before. Since installing this addon, no spam at all. It's a beautiful thing!

Great add-on...

This is probably the very best security-related addon for Xenforo. This stops 90% of my bots, and a vast majority of the human trolls that have been attacking my forums. It is absolutely essential to any forum that receives a decent amount of traffic.

This is the single most effective anti-spam solution that I have tried. Since installing this add-on (and using it in conjuction with StopHumanSpam), not a single piece of spam has made it onto my forum. Not one. If W1zzard has abandoned it, I hope that another developer takes it over (or creates something similar). I have no doubt that people would pay money for this.

This plugin is awesome and extremely sensetive. What I mean by this, is that user registered spammers were registering to my forums, but not posting anything to make them seen. With this plugin, it now picks up those people trying to register and allows me to auto reject or manually accept/reject them.

Before I had this plugin installed, my forum was constantly getting user registered spammers from Pakistan (PTCL Internet) who just wouldn't go away. I installed this plugin, set it to auto reject that ISP and country, and it works like a charm.

We managed for a long time only using tricky captcha phrases, but no more...

This add-on works excellent for us and seems to catch 99,9% of all offenders. Each account that so far has been labeled "rejected" has been an obvious SPAM account. There are a few false positives per month (we have hundreds of registrations/month) but those are always placed in the moderation queue and not rejected.

A great many thanks for a great add-on. This is a must have for every single XF forum out there.
