Excellent. Just in case anyone wants to change/customize the email approval notice or rejection notice:
It's easily found in \pun_approval\lang\English\mail_templates reg_approved.tpl or reg_rejected.tpl
for example in approved.tpll it says :
<username>!
Forum administrator has approved your registration request. Thank you for registering in the forums at <base_url>.
better might be
Hello <username>
The forum administrator has approved your registration request.
Thank you for registering in the forums at:
<base_url>.
But that's up to each board admin of course

Re: Pun Approval Issues (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Yes something that should be added as option.
Pun Approval is really two things now:
- Posts
- Registrations
both should be configurable seperately in my view... i.e. ON/OFF

Re: [solved] set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
is it possible that it's your "shell" around the forum that has set_magic_quotes_runtime settings?
didn't even know punbb used anything like that!
so your gazette site....?
anyhow it's going to be in .htaccess somwhere I believe....
but contact your host to find out what they've been up to lately

Delete everything you've uploaded.
Download it again.
Unpack it.
Then upload it .
Tale screenshots to keep as reference if it doesn't work (incl. URL in addressbar). [use snagit demo for example]
Have you created database table in hosts cpanel?
PS: This is a user - host problem. Not a code (PunBB) problem.

It won't ban the user, but if it's words that bother you, they'll disappear.
Mostly the words in the post aren't the problem when getting spam posts, it's the links. And you can't censor links to my knowledge.... It would be rather futile, judging by the number of sites, words and links possible...

It would help if you knew exactely what you're dealing with
like - which IPs (ranges) he's using
if he's using something like TOR (coming from chinese, indian, etc IPs) - block it by using this list in .htaccess
Should be easy....
Also check out who's online in your forum by using extension

Allow registration approval O Enable new posts approvalThen you don't have to worry about your issue 1 in first post, right?
....If only registrations need to be approved and not posts
also use:

Re: Pun Approval Issues (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
I don't know how many new members you get a day.
Depending on that...
if you manually approve them (with PUN APPROVAL) , you can decide then and there : Do I want to move this user directly to group "Member" instead of "New Member" and give them all permissions you want...
Also it's a good idea to have users who can ban users quickly (moderators) .
Collect stats from which IP the troll is spamming...
[below what permission you can give the groups...]
User permissions
Allow users to view the board. This setting applies to every aspect of the board and can, if disabled, not be overridden by forum specific read permissions. If this is disabled, users in this group will only be able to login/logout and register.
Allow users to view the user list and user profiles.
Allow users to post replies in topics.
Allow users to post new topics.
Allow users to edit their own posts.
Allow users to delete their own posts.
Allow users to delete their own topics (including any replies).
Allow users to set their own user titles.
Allow users to use the search feature.
Allow users to freetext search for users in the user list.
Allow users to send e-mails to other users.

Re: stopping spam bot registration outright? (13 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting)
Yeah I know exactely what you mean. Loads of cialiasxxx or so names don't make a good impression....
[Edit]
This is the mod I was talking about
"Since the mod changes the register.php file you need to apply the modification every time the register.php file is updated by a later release but updating the file only takes a few minutes so it is not a lot of work."
You just need to find the correct lines in the Pun 1.3.4 ( the mod was for 1.2.x)

Antispam System 1.3.4, Stop spam from bots 0.2, Aksimet you 've tried so
your last call would afterwards would be using a mod (I know not good for updating etc) to ask a question like: Ocean between America and Europe
Btw: I'm using pun approval on one forum and it's perfect - quick and easy to approve newcomers!

Re: Pun Approval Issues (12 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 extensions)
Seems that you have more of a "troll" than a "spammer" user.
Maybe you should allow only certain groups to post, i.e. users you've approved.

you as admin ban him or also moderators?
once a month seems annoying of course, but rather seldom in the grand scheme of things
EDIT :
Try

and disallow new members posting....
Then move all your trusted members to another group...

You don't know that they spam until they post. And they can only post when they've registered. Also some registrations only add spam signatures minutes or hours later...
Have you really tried with each available extension: ReCatcha, Anti-Spam System etc... Also a system with user entering answer to question chosen by you could help...

Topic: Improve Overview in Administration » Extensions » Manage extensions (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.3 discussion)
I was wondering if the overview of available and installed extensions shouldn't be "cleaned up". I have pun repository installed and maybe 7-10 extensions that are non official. That means my list is over 20 extensions long.
Long list to scroll.
What would need to be done to just have
Extension // Version // Status // Disable (DA) // E/D
Uninstall (U)
Install (I)
Download (DL)
Name // 1.0.4 // On // DA U I DL // E
Name 2 // 1.0.3 // Off // DA U I DL //
Name 3 // 1.0.3 // Repo // DA U I DL //
Name 4 // 2.0.7 // Repo // DA U I DL //
Name 5 // 2.0.3 // Repo // DA U I DL //
Name 6 // 1.4.6 // Repo // DA U I DL //
Off -- Extensions available for install
On -- Installed extensions
Repo -- PunBB repository
E -- Enabled
D -- Disabled
It would save a lot of space and allow quick overview.... AND/OR
Hide author info / description and make it "drop down" when clicked on....
Some thoughts anyway....
as there are now over 70 extension - it might be good...
