What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: ERROR: We don't like spammers in Google.

Write your message below:

One client was able to add a comment, when another client tried, he was rejected and the script gave the following error: We don't like spammers. You have been permanently banned from this guestbook!

I went into the "banned_ip.txt" file, and cleared his IP and he tried again and got the same error. He is using the same internet provider, Fuse.net, for email as me; so we are not sure if this is what is causing the rejection.

TIA for any help.

Hello Ike,

It would help if we knew what message he was trying to post.

Maybe there were some words the spamfilter does not like. Or maybe he did try to post a URL in the message, which gets you banned immediately.
URL's are only allowed in the 'Your Web site' field which you can activate by setting $settings['use_url']=1; in the settings.php file.

For a quick solution you could disable the ban function by setting $settings['junkmark_ban100']=0;
This has the disadvantage that also real spammers will not get added to the banlist and can try again.

Greetings,
henrie
