[FF] StopForumSpam Flag Selector 1.0.2

[benFF]

benFF submitted a new resource:

[FF] StopForumSpam Flag Selector - Choose which user flags to use for spam checks

Out the box XenForo checks Username, Email and IP address against the SFS database.

This isn't ideal as (IMHO) a username isn't really that unique.

This add-on lets you choose which flags are used for the moderate and reject warning flag count.

I personally just check Email and IP - which means I can moderate registrations with 1 flag detected and reject registrations with 2.

Thankyou for creating this plugin, I have been wanting this option for a very long time!

OMG!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

This has been driving me crazy!! I LOVE the SFS, bug we're getting SO MUCH false positive matches on username that it's been driving us crazy. Perfectly valid users, trying register as "Tom" or "Alex" are disallowed just because of their name. I suppose that I could increase the threshold above '1', but I want to be rigorous, just not with their name.

So, again... Thank you thank you!!

I like to be able to reject on email address (since that's pretty unique) and require approval for IP address. I have a lot of legit users that sign up from AT&T cell phones that get flagged since I guess AT&T IP addresses get used for bot farms or something.

Thanks for the useful add-on:



It would be ideal if the email flag would also automatically reject registration.

benFF updated [FF] StopForumSpam Flag Selector with a new update entry:

Flag weighting

Instead of just enabling or disabling flags, you now set a weight for each.

This weighting is then used in the "Moderate registrations when this many warning flags are detected" and "Reject registrations when this many warning flags are detected" counts.

This is a great idea, I've just updated it now

So in your case (with moderate set to 1 and reject set to 2), set it like this:

After 1 minute, it's already implemented!
Thanks!
