Pivot-Blacklist for phpBB

meta info

Friday Feb 25 2005

phpBB logo

For use at the Pivot Forum which is running phpBB I have packaged a hacked version of Pivot-Blacklist for use with phpBB. It's a quick hack but it works very well. The Pivot-Blacklist for phpBB is useful for those who run phpBB forums with anonymous posting enabled (posting without being registered on the forum). It blocks spam very effectively. A subset of Pivot-Blacklist's features are available:

Classic MT-Blacklist spam scanning
Personal blacklist (additions to the MT blacklist entered by the administrator)
OSA (Owen's Spam Action, providing extra anti spam-bot protection)
SURBL checking (real time known spam domain list)
RDSBL checking (open proxies)
logging of spam attempts

If you run phpBB and you need to have unregistered posting enabled then this package is your rescue angel.

Get it while it's hot!

I thought I’d take a look at the uptake on your mod/hack, and I’m not the quickest person in the room but I was taken aback by what I saw so I made a post:
