Fantastic news. How effective is it?
That's awesome, If I come across anything I will let you know.
I guess we'll find out but I tend to have success at least initially when I fight spam. Spam is something you have to just make adjustments for because that's exactly what they do. IMHO you have to deter spam by removing the rewards they get for spamming.
Do you detect spam bots by their e-mail, or what? I'm curious to know that before I start my new project.
Alright Omni , good news
I'm happy to see SF being kicked off again into the road by you .
I had to admit that you've done it quickly before it's too late for FS , thanks.
Great news Omni. It's also great to see Sam back as a super moderator here (a spermoderator as I call them
) and it's great that SF is getting some love <3

What I have been noticing recently is slow-responce and Error 500 (Internal Server Error) coming from SF. Do you know why that was happening?

Damn omni you are too genius and expert in Mybb. Well i'm also learning mybb and soon i'll launch my own plugin.
I've been getting Error 500 a lot too. Very strange...
