How hard would this be?

I'm always looking to cut down on spam submissions. The new 3.2 with the ban words is brilliant!

As an extra measure, how hard would it be to produce a mod that would check to see if the submitter's email address matches the domain of the submission? I've seen this on only a couple of directories, never on a phpLD to my knowledge. Better yet, how about the option to turn it on and off in admin panel. Submitter Email Address Must match Domain Submitted: Yes/No.

shouldn't be to hard to write a function into the smarty validation to compare the two. I will look at it tomorrow and let you know. ;)

It would not be good for most submitter including mysself. Most folks use a throw-away email or a seperate hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail so they can track submissions without getting spammed to death.

Could make such smarty plugin easily, but for sure I would not use it on any dir. I have some friends from internet-marketing business who submits a lot of featured links for their clients websites using their own email. Should I ban them for email?

lol, I was just throwing a suggestion out there :)

Suggestions are always welcome. This is the only way to make something amazing. :)
Apart phpld I'm desktop software developer and 80% of ideas for my soft comes from suggestions from my users (have more than 2.000) ;)

Here is something but works only for phpLD 3.0.6 and above. If you write your own parseDomain function you can use it on many more versions before 3.0.6

submit.php
Content visible to registered users only.submit.tpl
Content visible to registered users only./include/functions_validate.php
