Is this a spam thing? Sorry, I have just released it, so it will take some time till it gets approved. This app will add 3 new settings ( more TBA with future releases ) to the spam prevention settings Edited January 28, 2017 by fosters AndyF and ADKGamers 2
Gabriel Torres Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Sounds great. It would be super to auto-ban anyone posting a language other than the forum's, but I guess unless it is written in Chinese, it is quite impossible to auto-detect the post's language... We mark spammers every day, I will come back here if I see something that could be automated based on the spams we get. Fosters 1

Nope;) It's going to be included in this app. We're already experimenting with this since 1 month but it's based on 3rd party services. Edited January 29, 2017 by fosters kar3n2 and Gabriel Torres 2
Gabriel Torres Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 @fosters any news on this feature (blocking Chinese)? We are bombarded daily with Chinese spams... Thanks!

Bluto Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks! I have the same Chinese problem, but also Korean and Indian "Healers". It would be great to be able to flag Korean also and maybe selected phrases. The Indian "healer" posts tend to have some phrases that are the same in every post or reference some Hindu God. I would be great to have a phrases option. Chris027 and Fosters 2

Bluto Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Not sure if someone has come across this or not, or if I should submit as a bug. Chinese spammer posted 11 threads today. Saw an email with the 11 threads. Went into the member page and flagged as spammer. Now I see this on my main board: Doing a mouse over it reads "-11 queued topics" When I click on it I get "There are no topics in this forum yet". Edited June 7, 2017 by Bluto Fosters 1

Gabriel Torres Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 @Fosters I was checking this, and can you please confirm that you added the blocking for Chinese content? I see in the description that you added this, but since the version number is still 1.0.0, I got confused, plus you didn't confirm this here in the support topic. Please advise!
Fosters Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 Yea, the chinese blocking is included. As you see, the app was regular updated, but TBH, i have no idea and can't tell you why we have released 4 times a 1.0.0 version. I'll review our repo and get in touch with the other dev to see what happened here??♂️ BariatricPal 1
Gabriel Torres Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 @Fosters Awesome, I will buy it. The fact that the version number was still 1.0.0 confused me.
Fosters Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Sorry for the confusion. We upgraded the file description without replacing the previous release, so the 1.0.0 version got re-released several times. Anyway, we have some nice enhancements in the pipeline, which were tested in the last several months and which will be included to this app "soon". We have also some LOVELY enhancements in the pipeline for premium clients, which use 3rd party AI & ML services for spam detection ( Difference between AI & ML ) Gabriel Torres 1
Silnei L Andrade Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 @Gabriel Torres, The plugin solved your problem with Chinese spam? My forum is also being bombarded by them. As our forum is in Portuguese as yours, if it solved for you would probably solve it for us too. Gabriel Torres 1
Gabriel Torres Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 @Silnei L Andrade Yep, since installing the latest version we haven't seen any Chinese spam around here! Silnei L Andrade and Fosters 1 1

CSSlife Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Great plugin but could you potentially look into adding/looking into these issues: The mod has started putting regular threads into moderation also for some reason. I come on to find like 40 threads/posts moderated that shouldn't be moderated (that have no chinese in them). The ban tool isn't working. It's not banning them. Could you maybe add other languages too like korean, our spammers have got smart and realised chinse posts wont get through so they spam with random letters and now korean text - see screenshot attached Fosters 1
