This plugin helps admins to find and remove spamming users in Moodle.

Also the plugin provides hooks, if you want to implement any other thrid party api, spam detection methods.

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in moodle/admin/tool/advancedspamcleaner/plugins/akismet/api.php on line 23"
I fixed it by adding a semi-colon at the end of line 21.
Thanks for the plug-in!
I use Moodle 3.1.9. (PHP version 7.0). When I install the plugin, I get a redirect error because the installation process goes wrong. Bascially the following files are repeatedly called on, until you get an error from the browser:
- index.php
- index.php?cache=1
- upgradesettings.php
- index.php (and so on)
This also means your notifications page stays broken until you remove the plugin.
I didn't test the plugin on other instances or versions of Moodle.
