bbAntiSpam: Discuss how to stop web spam

Guest · Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2006 3:12 pm Post subject: modified phpBB files

Hello,

I would like to istall bbAntiSpam on my phpBB-Forum but there ist something, I would like to avoid:

for some time I've modified some phpBB-Files to make phpBB showing in Frame. Also I have edited some URLs in PHP-code. Will these changes be affected by bbAS or could bbAS destroy my Forum in my case?

With other words: is it harmlos, to install bbAS on a modified phpBB or should I take care of something?

Thanx!

Paul

99.99% that you don't need care. bbAntiSpam is written with this issue in mind.

Hi,

We installed it on a board with EasyMod that has a lot of mods and it was no problem at all.

I would suggest you install the advanced visual confirmation, which we also have, to prevent robotic registration.

In addition we also installed Anti-bot Guest Post Mod by Oliver Tseng -> http: / / debatingchristianity [dot] com (sorry, this forum has bbAntiSpam, cant post links Wink

). This mod adds a Yes/No pulldown and needs to be manually set to Yes before a guest can post. This prevents bots posting (although I have noticed some bots can do this automatically.

Good luck killing the spammers Smile

When bbAntiSpam is installed, I think there is no need for Anti-bot Guest Post Mod. Anyway, here is the link again, now unmangled: http://debatingchristianity.com/.

And here are notes on Advanced Visual Confirmation, which are the part of phpBB Antispam HOWTO.
