README

This extension adds some advanced protection against spam runs on your community. This is not an extension but a bundle of local extenders. Local extenders need to be added to your extend.php in the root of your Flarum installation (next to flarum and composer.json you will see a file extend.php).

Install the extension:

composer require luceos/flarum-simple-spam-tools

Update the extension:

composer require luceos/flarum-simple-spam-tools

Make sure to confirm all local extenders still work afterwards.

Configuration

In your extend.php specify some settings which should speak for themselves:

return [
    (new \Luceos\Spam\Filter)
        // use domain name
        ->allowLinksFromDomain('luceos.com')
        // or just a full domain with protocol, only the host name is used
        ->allowLinksFromDomain('http://flarum.org')
        // even a link works, only the domain will be used
        ->allowLinksFromDomain('discuss.flarum.org/d/26095')
        // Alternatively, use an array of domains
        ->allowLinksFromDomains([
            'luceos.com',
            'flarum.org',
            'discuss.flarum.org'
        ])
        // How long after sign up all posts are scrutinized for bad content
        ->checkForUserUpToHoursSinceSignUp(5)
        // How many of the first posts of a user to scrutinize for bad content
        ->checkForUserUpToPostContribution(5)
        // Specify the user Id of the moderator raising flags for some actions
        ->moderateAsUser(2),
];

Prevent Bio Spam

return [
    // ...
    new \Luceos\Spam\UserBio,
]

This will prevent any bad content etc based on the Filter settings from configuration.

Prevent CommentPost Spam

return [
    // ..
    new \Luceos\Spam\CommentPost,
]

This will prevent any bad content in posts based on the Filter settings.

Prevent Discussion Subject Spam

return [
    // ..
    new \Luceos\Spam\Discussion,
]

Prevents URL's in discussion subjects/titles.
