Spam is getting ridiculous.

[DarkGizmo]

The following seems to be posted a lot, how can I block certain phrases/URL's from being posted?

Thread title ususally something involving this URL:

https://nutradiary.com/​

body looks something like (links are removed for your safety):

Descriptive as to what the quality is diarrhea or constipation or pain or cramps GRS Ultra or something let me give you the extremes anybody who follows the mcdougall diet will notice that they have to buy oil extra toilet paper and when we used to run the clinic at uh up in santa rosa the hotel that we had our the resort we had our clinic at uh used to order extra toilet paper and they knew our patients were coming in you should expect immediate relief from that .

How would I block the URL from being posted in thread titles & posts?

You can block such posts with Spam phrases in Options > Spam Management.

I would add those "health" phrases and set it to manually approve.

this is what my phrases currently look like but it doesn't seem to be doing anything......due to still allowing links to be posted and such, I have it set to manually approve but never get the chance:

/^\[url.*\[\/url\]$/si
/^http\S+$/si
/\]+)("|')?\].*\[url\]\2\[/si
/\[url=("|')?([^"'\]]+)("|')?\].*\[url=("|')?\2("|')?\]/si
/^https?:\/\/\S+\n/si
/Nutradiary*
nutradiary*

Is this what's needed? Or am I missing something?

Maybe you're bypassing spam check with user group permissions.

 

[DarkGizmo]

Nope, i already checked this.

I admin multiple XF forums and the spam settings work on all of them so I don't have any answers as to why they don't work on your site, unless third party modifications are involved.

None of my spam prevention addons would allow users to bypass spam settings.

Spam related add-ons I have installed:
Spaminator log (OzzMods)

None of those products touch permissions. Do you mind posting a list of all other add-ons you have installed?
