Add-on Any addon that can do this?

[Escobar]

Hi,

I have @Snog his application addon for xenforo 1.5 but lately we have been getting a lot of spam apps which is really annoying. So i was wondering if there is an addon that auto closes and moves a thread with the right prefix and moves it to a closed apps node based on the content in the application. So we can get rid of the spammy applications. Or maybe @Snog knows a different approach to stop the spamming apps.

Have not heard of any other complaints of spam in the forms. Is it members or guests posting the spam?

Moving it based on on the content, no, but based on the prefix, yes. Snog migrated his "Prefix Action" addon to XF2.

[OzzModz] Prefix Actions

This add-on adds the ability to open, close, stick, unstick or move threads automatically when any prefix is selected. If the original poster has permission to use a prefix, they can change the prefix at any time and the thread will be open...

xenforo.com

If you're getting spam repeatedly with the same keywords have you tried the XF2 spam keyword settings?

members its a closed community. They have to apply in order to get approved but some people just don't read the questions and spam useless **** i basically want those spam submitted forms auto closed and moved or maybe a trick so the field needs to contain x text for them to be able to submit it.

If you're allowing unregistered users to fill out a form, there's not much that can be done.

The only thing I can suggest is to strengthen your Captcha system, and/or include a question that checks for a specific answer.

is there no way that checks if a text box contains a link?

Maybe limiting how much new users can post in a certain time-frame would be another approach....?

It seems he's allowing unregistered users to fill out forms. So, that wouldn't work.

You could use a regular expression check for the question to be sure http or https doesn't exist in the text.

Something like (untested)...
^(?:(?!http).)*$

But that won't prevent them from putting a site name like xenforo.com in the text.

Right. Maybe something something like this would be helpful...

In some field they have to include imgur links. No way to make it check if imgur it contains imgur if not spill out error saying please include the imgur link?

 

[Snog]

This SHOULD reject any URL that is not an imgur URL. But it's untested...

^(?:http(s)?:\/\/)?[(www|imgur|).-]+(?:\.[(imgur|com)\.-]+)+[\w\-\._~:\/?#[\]@!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=.]+$

If not, investigate regular expressions to detect a URL. Google is your friend.

There is NO way to detect if a text group contains BOTH a non-imgur URL and an imgur URL and reject the one with the non-imgur URL. It's one or the other. Of course I could be wrong and their might be someone out there that's better with regular expressions than I am.

Well, that addon is for 1.5, but yeah, I get you. It wasn't clear to me that you were loking for something that probably only Snog could help you with....
