Once in a while I get a persistent spammer that can get seemingly limitless email address and IP addresses. Recently I banned him again and then turned on Registration Approval to review new registrations (usually fruitless.) The next registration I got was with email Luzifull@gmail.com and IP Address 110.164.249.158. As a last ditch effort to stop this guy, I tried a google search Luzifull@gmail.com 110.164.249.158 and I got a HIT! http://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/110.164.249.158OMG! I disallowed the registration with the reason: "because you're an idiot" Over the next three days I got 4-5 such registrations, all of them appearing on stopforumspam.com. PLEASE write a MOD that incorporates this wonderful functionality! (they claim they have an API for this very reason.)

A lot of us here use stopforumspam.com. It is a good thing. I believe somebody here has already integrated it into the 7.x versions.

Okay, so I just downloaded Gizmo's MOD. There are no instructions on how to install it and I'm not seeing a "How to install a Mod" post prominently displayed anywhere.
I'm sure it's simple, but I've not done it before.
Can you tell me?

Was about to mention that I have a mod at UBBdev; and the mod has install instructions in it...

When you download the modification zip from here there is a text file in it, it explains what changes need to happen in which file for the mod to work.

I used SFS manually for a long time, and it was very tedious with the amount of new registrations I get every day. Gizmo's mod (I'm still using one of the first versions) automates it, and has literally saved me hours of copy/paste.
Thanks again, Giz.

done in 20 minutes.. but it's not working. This step:
In templates/default/admin/membermanage.tmpl
Find:
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($que);$i++) { //UBBTREMARK
Add Below:
$xml_string = file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?email=". $que[$i]['email']);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_string);
if($xml->appears == 'yes'){
$spammer_real_email = " <a href=\"http://stopforumspam.com/search/?q=". $que[$i]['email'] ."\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;\">{$ubbt_lang["SFS_ALERT"]}</a>";
} else {
$spammer_real_email = "";
}
$xml_string = file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip=". $que[$i]['ip']);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_string);
if($xml->appears == 'yes'){
$spammer_reg_ip = " <a href=\"http://stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/". $que[$i]['ip'] ."\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;\">{$ubbt_lang["SFS_ALERT"]}</a>";
} else {
$spammer_reg_ip = "";
}
Before:
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($que);$i++) { //UBBTREMARK
echo <<<UBBTPRINT
<tr><td class="stdautorow autobottom colored-row" valign="top">
<small>
...
After:
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($que);$i++) { //UBBTREMARK
$xml_string = file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?email=". $que[$i]['email']);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_string);
if($xml->appears == 'yes'){
$spammer_real_email = " <a href=\"http://stopforumspam.com/search/?q=". $que[$i]['email'] ."\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;\">{$ubbt_lang["SFS_ALERT"]}</a>";
} else {
$spammer_real_email = "";
}
$xml_string = file_get_contents("http://www.stopforumspam.com/api?ip=". $que[$i]['ip']);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xml_string);
if($xml->appears == 'yes'){
$spammer_reg_ip = " <a href=\"http://stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/". $que[$i]['ip'] ."\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold;\">{$ubbt_lang["SFS_ALERT"]}</a>";
} else {
$spammer_reg_ip = "";
}
echo <<<UBBTPRINT
<tr><td class="stdautorow autobottom colored-row" valign="top">
<small>
...
And all I get is a blank member management page. I see the four tabs across the top, but I cannot click on them. Also the display pane is empty. Any ideas?

You really should post your issues at ubbdev where the mod is at.

At least it will be in one place so if someone else has a similar issue, they can get some info. Instead of it being spread out on different boards and posts that are unrelated to the topic. And I am sure that Giz will respond there.
But I can't resist the temptation. Did you get a api key?

Again, modifications are not supported at UBBCentral... I won't answer any support inquiries for my modifications here; they have a thread at UBBDev and modification support there as well.
