    Whats a good threshold number to start with if I have all three options checked?

    I also see no place for an api key to get popped in....

      Kyrne So what happens if they hit 2 points or go over? Do I get notified or are they just flat out denied?

      Would you recommend I use in conjunction with friends of flarum spamblock?

          MikeJones if their IP+email+username hits are equal to or greater than 2 they will get denied automatically, no notification for you.

          It's a great plugin to use, it makes getting rid of spammers super easy (1 button) and if you add it an API key to sfs (with splam block enabled) it will report them and thus helping the greater forum community.

              This extension is not uninstalling either through Bazaar or through the Extensions tab. It is not happening like this for any other extension. I can post the error log but I think anyone can check it at their end. It was blocking many real people for signng up so I want to uninstall it. I am able to disable it though.

                nitaaikumar You can remove any extension by replacing require in the installation instructions with remove. In this case:

                composer remove fof/stopforumspam

                Run this in your Flarum root folder.

                  nitaaikumar through the Extensions tab

                  Uninstalling through the extensions page simply rolls back migrations, i.e. removes most of the extension data that was added to the DB if the extension created new tables/columns.

                      Applepiee Looks like you are using the ReFlar version. Try installing the FriendsOfFlarum by running composer require fof/stopforumspam.

                        I'm in doubt, on the one hand I think it's a useful extension plus it is used on this forum, and on the other hand I read this:

                        "It was blocking many real people for signing up so I want to uninstall it." -nitaaikumar

                        What are your experiences with this extension so far? Is there anyone who has been using it for a long time on some bigger forums?

                          bryantmilan I take an alternative route with this one. I use WordPress for authentication, and then allow that to control sign-upv/ registration etc. I've not had any spam comments posted, but plenty of would be spammers have been stopped at the gates.

                            How brilliant...
                            I decided to learn php & the first thing I will do is to help this... This forum is bloody beautiful, anyway cheers for your work done mate!
