Purpose

The purpose of the Stop Forum Spam database integration is to add an effective way to reduce the amount of Spammer registrations on your forum.

Limitations

As of v1.0.0, the modification only works with new registrations. A later update will allow submission of previously registered users as well as integration with moderator controls and user profiles. Also, the modification will eventually have the ability to have more actions besides rejection of the registration.

Installation

Installation includes the uploading of 1 file as well as installing 1 product through the Administrators Control Panel.


Upload class_sfs.php to your forum's /includes directory.
Install product_kk_sfs_integration.xml through the ACP (ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
Modify the tolerance level, if desired. This can be found under the registration options.
Enjoy


Default Tolerance Level

By default, the tolerance level is set to 2. Meaning it must match at least 2 out of 3 fields (Username, IP, and Email) to be rejected. If it only matches 1 field, it will be permitted to go through.
