I definitely didn't look well enough on this forum but as any image verification code is a must have...

BTW : An error in the code I first posted prevent it from beeing usefull.
Here is the mod to the mod if you had it already installed.

Well you know what they say carb. Imitation is the best flattery. To bad he is a dollar short and over a year late. I bet he even thought he had something special.

Well, I should say, that I only had a quick look at Carbonize code just now. At first sight, it seems that it lacks the code to protect the comments to be spammed and doesn't seem to be "almost identical" at all as "my" code is mainly the code of Mert ÷–‹T that I found googling for an anti flood solution while Carbonize code seems to be original.
And the only "little" work I've done is to integrate the "Gitme Anti Flood" code into this mod.

Anyway, It works for me, I'm happy with this and I just wanted to share my work. And I won't feel sorry if some people aren't interested.

I'm just sorry to not having read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS!" thread. Btw, now that I've read some more of these forums, I think too, as someone else said, that the image verification should be included in the original Advanced Guest Book code and not as a mod.
And as I had no questions to ask, I didn't felt I had to read the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANY QUESTIONS!" thread, and as the sticky post is a (too) simple (for me) human verification test and not the image verification test, this is why I felt I had to write this.

So you know.

Maybe it should? Or is it already in the next version?

Download 2.3.4 and replace ALL your current guestbook files EXCEPT admin/config.inc.php then follow the instructions for Human Verification which is in the first thread.

Hi,

I'm on 2.3.2 and it seems like some spammers are able to post messages that have an IP address that is already on my keep-out list. They also seem to be able to post messages that have words that are in my banned list, but with no substitution being made. So, somehow they are able to add entries that bypass the watchdog routines. Does 2.3.4 help with these?

Also, the keep-out list seems to ignore the wild card IP address entries, (e.g., I put in "203.125.", yet along comes 203.125.1.234 afterward). So somehow someone is able to bypass the watchdog for that, too.

Also, for 2.3.5, my wish is that the keep-out list could include both IP addresses, wild card addresses all the way down to just the first number, and also allow us to enter in names, like "localhost" or any name used by the spammers.

Wishing out loud. Keep up the great work. As the Beatles use to sing, "It's getting better all the time."

they should not be able to bypass neither the IP ban nor bad word filtering. Whats the link to your address along with a list of your bad words.
