nukeSPAM(tm) enables site using the RavenNuke(tm) content management system (CMS) and other PHP-Nuke distributions to prevent user registration by known spammers. It features:

• Configurable blocking via 3 public spam databases and 14 DNS blacklists
• Advanced logging, reporting and false positive resolution
• Advanced whitelist maintenance
• Administrator function to check if username, email and / or IP address are blocked

Although nukeSPAM(tm) administration automatically creates the necessary database tables, integration with user registration requires code changes (instructions are included for RavenNuke(tm) Your Account).

nukeSPAM(tm) can be downloaded here. Download requires 7-zip. Free membership is required to download.

Over the years, I have been collecting bug reports and enhancement requests for NSN GR Downloads (latest version 1.0.3).  I have settled on the scope for the first re-release of this module, version 1.1.0, as follows:

It has been released! Please see our on-line Change Log (or that provided within the distribution package) for details as to what was modified for this release.

Back in June, I had a need to make available a bunch of game photos to my son's team parents.  I was having DVD burning issues at the time and so went looking for an on-line file hosting service which could handle a large zip file of the photos plus the download bandwidth.  Unfortunately I didn't have a ton of time to investigate and I found one which looked like it would work for me: www.divshare.com.  Bad decision... even paid for it.

Why a bad decision?  I mean, their Privacy Policy, even today, says: 

We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

• To fulfill your service requests for services.
• To protect ourselves from liability,
• To respond to legal process or comply with law, or
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.

Hmmmm... no statement allowing for the selling of my email address to third parties.  Just so happens, I am quite skeptical about any on-line service and so I use Yahoo! disposable email addresses and I create a new one each time I sign up with a new service.  I name these disposable addresses in such a way that I can tell if they are selling my email address when I start getting emails unrelated to the service I signed up for.

What happened next?  I have received nearly 50 spam messages to that specific email address.  Now, in the grand scheme of things, given this was in the span of about 3 months, this isn't much.  However, I do not appreciate being lied to and spammers to me rank right there alongside the common criminal.  Now that I am done with my experiment of watching the spam come in, I have canceled my divshare account and deleted my disposable email address!  Bye-bye you scum of the Earth!

So, if you are a follower of this site, or happen to run across this post in your searching for on-line file sharing/hosting services, maybe I will save you some headaches by not giving www.divshare.com your information.

montego

Members of the RavenNuke(tm)/PHP-Nuke Community have over the years asked if it was possible to not have a module within the site home page.  While it is not current functionality to do that, there is a simple module hack to help you accomplish this.  One must simply create an empty module and then set it as your Home module.  See my forum post entitled Empty Module In Home to see how to accomplish this.

A few bugs were reported since the release of version 1.1.2 that we wanted to clean up quickly, hence this very small patch release. Since this is just a patch release, it is a simple matter of uploading a few scripts and an image. But, please read the README.txt and UPGRADES.txt as always and it will guide you through this quick patch fix. In addition, as always, the CHANGELOG.txt file will list out exactly which files were added/modified/removed.

Several folks have offerred up suggestions for improvement to this hack (thank you Susann and others) since version 1.1.0 was released. So with the upcoming RavenNuke(tm) 2.2.0 (also known as 2.20.00) enhancement release, I made some improvements, both enhancements and bug fixes.  See download change log for details.

For you non-RavenNukers (shame on you - lol) or "early-birds", come Download it now!

While the Mailer was developed on RavenNuke(tm) for RavenNuke(tm) and PHP-Nuke, it may be possible to use on other *nuke variants with slight variations. Come get the latest download.

A few bugs were reported since the release of version 1.3.1 that we wanted to clean up quickly, hence this very small patch release. Since this is just a patch release, it is a simple matter of uploading a few scripts. But, please read the README.txt and UPGRADES.txt as always and it will guide you through this quick patch fix. In addition, see the CHANGELOG.txt file will list out exactly which files were added/modified/removed.
