Spam log rules

[flowerpot132]

admin.php?logs/spam-trigger

How do I know the rules or why some applications have been marked as spam please?

 

[Mike]

That log is the "why". The configuration would be done elsewhere, generally the "spam management" options.

Do you have a specific question about what you see there?

 

[flowerpot132]

"spam management" options.

Searched that in admin search and no results. Where is it please?

 

[Mike]

It's the option group "Spam Management" - <url>/admin.php?options/list/spam

Cheers Mike. Ok our spam logger lists about 20 a month. Looking at the applicants details in them, they are eligible in my eyes and should not have been stopped. That's fine. But can I get an alert of something everything the spam systems stops a registration? Then I can double check them.

 

[Mike]

Assuming it's StopForumSpam related, the options let you control what happens based on the number of triggers detected. If you choose to moderate them, you'll get a chance to manually approve the registration.

 

[flowerpot132]

We manually approve all applications anyway. But these don't come through. So I need to just change that in the settings then?

 

[Mike]

Yes, though out of the box, a user has to trigger all 3 flags to be rejected. That's quite a strong flag that the user has a history of spam.
