Found this might be better supported; found at

after speaking to the admin at SEM (spam eating monkey)

DNS
To check the status of the IP 1.2.3.4, query the blacklist as:
4.3.2.1.list.blogspambl.com
If the IP is listed there will be an A record response with the IP 127.0.0.2 and a TXT record response with a link to the lookup page.

PHP
A few lines for PHP:

$clientip = explode(".", $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
$revip = array_reverse($clientip);
$query = implode(".", $revip) . ".list.blogspambl.com";
$result = explode(".", gethostbyname($query));

if ($result[0] == 127) {
    // Blocked IP handling code goes here
    echo "Blocked!";
}

Was this issue solved ?

Thanks a lot. Whenever suits you it's appreciated.

1. Install the official Stop Spam from Bots Extension and insert a new Question, deleting the old ones after
2. Install the stopforumspam Extension (unofficial) or
3. You can to query the stopforumspam database.

Should see your registrations dwindle. The botnet hitting is you is using real yahoo, hotmail, gmail accounts and breaking the rather simple default CAPTCHA. It basically hits all forums with SMF, vBulletin and phpbb - aswell as PunBB to some extent.

@Rajuru

There's interest for an added option to this extension in the french community;

- users should be able to edit messages but NOT edit the title of message anymore (optional)

Is this something you could add?

Thanks.

Welcome to PunBB;

Are you having this issue:

http://www.devcomments.com/Unable-to-co … 293308.htm

also see this

http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … ity-token/

/extensions/portal_by_daris/panels/active_topics.php
would need to be modified

maybe adding

<?php echo forum_htmlencode($cur_forum['cat_name']) ?>

or similiar - lines 65-85 look like the rough area ....
not sure how exactely to go about it though maybe someone else can give you exact code...

This has now been installed in this forum.
Also new pun_stop_bots is running with a very simple question.

If you also run this extension make sure to get the latest .csv file regularly!

I'm suddenly seeing a topic for approval in "Post Approval" > "Unapproved topics" but as soon as I click on it, it's gone ("There are no unapproved posts since your last visit") - Also the topic is old anyway, so I don't understand how it can be getting on the list...?!

Shouldn't it link to a page with unapproved topics?

Also a real unapproved post doesn't show up on the list.
