Gabriel Torres Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Hi @Fosters I found a bug with this plugin. When the setting "Ban the member if his content contains any characters from the above settings" is enabled and a moderator/administrator creates a post with the banned characters (e.g. Chinese), the moderador is banned and set as spammer. However, moderators/administrators cannot be set as spammers. So what happens is that we can unban them from the ACP when this happens, but when I try to remove their spammer status, I get an error message: Quote 2C114/8 You cannot flag yourself, a moderator, or an administrator as a spammer Therefore, this setting "Ban the member if his content contains any characters from the above settings" should ignore the user if he is a moderator/administrator. BTW: this happened here with two moderators that were just editing a post that had Chinese characters and hit save. So what I am saying is happening when a moderator/admin edits a post as well. Thanks. Fosters 1 Link to comment

Fosters Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 Indeed a bug. I’ve fixed it now and will test the app for another day before I release the new version . Link to comment
Skippy J Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Is there a plan to add support for Arabic content moderation? 90% of our spam postings have Arabic characters. Thanks! Link to comment

MediaDiGi Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Any chance to add an option to moderate content with links for a specified group of members only? Would be great and I could use it on my forum Link to comment
NeedCoffee Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I suggested this privately, but I think it would be great if the plugin could actually prevent a post containing those characters from being accepted - i.e. entered in to our database. In our situation all messages on the forum must be written in English, using standard characters. We would prefer just block someone, with a friendly message, when they try to post, instead of taking the message and auto-banning the user. Link to comment
NeedCoffee Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 One easy 'fix' for now, maybe we can set a custom ban reason - to explain to any non-spammers what has happened to them! In case they are worried they were banned and confused. Link to comment

Have you considered purchasing Automation Rules? Create a condition to search the title and content. If something matches, delete the content display a message. You can also do pretty much anything imaginable if the condition yields true or false. Once you learn automation rules, you'll think you're Dr. Strange manipulating time and space.  If you purchase Automation Rules, PM me and I can give you the code for the rule or look for my posts on Kevin's (the author) support forum - I posted it there. Automation Rules is a little pricey, but totally worth it. Link to comment
Nicoolas Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hello @Fosters My main issue at the moment, some "new users" create posts with additional links to unwanted websites (ie : APK download packages, or torrent website), after reading your plugin description, it seems that this plugins could help me to moderate this behaviour. After uploading and enabling this plugin and checking the following setting (for my group named member) : _Bypass word and link filters is set to disable _Moderate content with external links is enable However, I have a user that created few minutes ago, a post with an external link. Where can I check that the plugin has processed the message (any log or database log entries maybe ?) Regards, Nicoolas Link to comment

DamonT Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) @Fosters is there any option to filter content by topic name too? Some spammers can bypass this plugin by using forbidden characters only in topic name.  Edited March 22, 2019 by DamonT Fosters 1 Link to comment
Fosters Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 It's something what I have indeed on my todo list for the upcoming release. DamonT 1 Link to comment
Bluto Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Those spammers are serious about education.  😋 My spammers have given up... now my spam is all english promoting abortion clinics. Which I kill with a Automation Rule. Edited March 15, 2019 by Bluto Link to comment
DamonT Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) @Fosters is there any estimate time of the update with topics name filtering too? I have thousands of SPAM posts (from last 3 days) which baypassed your plugin 😞 Edited March 22, 2019 by DamonT Link to comment
DamonT Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) @Fosters one more issue - is your plugin works if the spammer write "normal post" and later edit it to post some chinese spam? It looks like not... Am i right? This is the way to bypass this plugin? Edited March 24, 2019 by DamonT Link to comment

peter.schaefer Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 It seems to work fine, but I have some problems with vietnamese content. Would be fine, to block those too. You can have an example, if you like. Block content with external links for users with less than X posts would make it nearly perfect. Â Thanks. Link to comment
