SpamBuster v1.0.0 (Stable): Identify, log and remove spam posts on your forum
Developer Last Online: Mar 2013 
This modification is in the archives.
This is the v3.5 version of vbSpamBuster that I wrote for vBulletin v3.0.x This version adds some new features.
What does it do? It spots posts that could potentially be spam then (depending on option settings) creates a thread alerting site admin/moderators about the post and/or hides the post from view. How does it identify the spam? All off the posts for users with a post count of less than 10 (configurable) have their posts checked against a number of rules. Each rule has a different "score". If the total score for the post exceeds a specified limit then the post is deemed to be spam. Can I add my own rules? The installer file has a default rule set with it, you may wish to customise the rules in the options section of the AdminCP. The rules system is fairly simple to add to, in simple terms each rule is a perl regular expression and a score. How do I install it? Import the product via the Product Manager in the AdminCP. The options group and plugins will be added to your system. Now would be a good time to click the install link on here to record the fact that you've installed it. How do I configure it? Head to the "SpamBuster" option group in the "vBulletin Options" section of your AdminCP. Fill in the relevant fields. Further documentation will follow but it should be obvious what each setting does for the moment. How do I upgrade? Just run a regular install. It's worth backing up your settings particluarly the rules before performing the upgrade. If you're upgrading from v0.3.2 to v1.0.0 you can just download the attached rules file and add it via the admincp as there have been no code changes. How can I test it? Try posting a new thread/post with some trigger values in it. The string ekmas.com should do the trick. Help it's broken my forum! Erm, that's not an intended feature. Disable all six of the plugins that are part of the product "SpamBuster" and post an error report to this thread. The forum will work fine. Why doesn't it do x,y or z? Because I've either not thought about it yet or I've not written it yet. Please drop a post into this thread with any (sensible!) suggestions. Can I use it commercially? You're free to use it for whatever purpose comercially/privately as long as you don't resell the code. It's released under the LGPL, see the link below for futher info. If you find this plugin useful and you'd like to make a donation please use the "donate" button below.   This software is licenced under the CC-GNU LGPL. Changelog

After lots of testing I only put this live on the forum I admin an hour or so before posting it on here last night.
As a precaution I'm running it so that it creates spam reports but doesn't delete the spam. It caught its first spam post about an hour ago and I'm happy

Admin users will see the thread/post but regular users (including the poster) won't. I think that's a better solution than permanently deleting it or moving it elsewhere
