What do you guys use for cleaning up spam?

Spam Decimator has not been updated for vB4 the last time I checked.

I am looking for a good replacement.

Please suggest.

I use cloudflare cdn hosting for my forum which blocks spammers at first level. (see cloudflare.com) Otherwise to clean spam i have standart vb 4.0 tool delete posts as spam. It does also 2 tocuh clean like Spam Decimator.

delete posts as spam is freaking crappy. they did not improve upon it in v4.

it takes 3 page loads and multiple clicks to get the work done.

that's why was looking for a faster solution!

cloudflare looks pretty interesting. 20 bucks a month is high. but if it does what it promises to do, i just might go for the paid version. thanks!

As i said the most easy solution also it's free "Cloudflare" dns level spam blocking. You'll like it, it pays your bantwidth as well.

just enabled them on my forum. looking to see how it works out. are you considering paying for it? i cannot see any major benefits. :|

You need to monitor thread screen and if you a free user at least 24 hours time needed for you to see the stats. You'll see at thread screen alot of spammers blocked just make sure to make security level High. I use both paid service and free service it's no difference for spammer blocking. But more secure you sql injection, xss atacks etc other threads.

Hello,

Here we use Spam Decimator. It has been updated by our development team for personal needs.

hehe. i know. and you guys would not (cannot) release it because of the licensing issues. i asked you guys before.

I get next to no spam on my board anymore since i've implemented this:

What countries do you ban, totally

interesting technique. would have been cool if it was available as an all inclusive plugin. i would give it a try this weekend! thanks.
