The plugin automatically blocks user profiles which are suspected fraudulent.

Got a large database of existing members? The plugin allows checking of all existing data against Anatoa's fraud detection system and has an easy to use page for this.

Installation instructions - Fresh Install

1. Copy the file anatoa-6.x-1.0.tar.gz to the Drupal's "sites/all/modules" directory.

2. Run the command "tar xjf anatoa-6.x-1.0.tar.gz", or uncompress the file using your control panel.

3. Run the command "chown -R xxx.apache anatoa" where xxx is replaced by the user which owns the Drupal files. When using a control panel, this step is in most cases not required.

4. Go to a web browser on your client machine, and log on to the Admin section of your Drupal site. Then go to the menu Administer -> Site Building -> Modules. You should now see the Anatoa entries in the list of available modules.

5. Enable the main "Anatoa" module, and any of the following sub-modules depending on which other modules are installed on your site:

Anatoa - Addresses - Users
Anatoa - Comment
Anatoa - Contact
Anatoa - Image
Anatoa - Private Messages
Anatoa - Upload

After this, you can access the plugin configuration page from Administer -> User Management -> Anatoa Fraud Detection in your Drupal Administration section. Remember to sign up for a (free) account at anatoa.com to get your API key, and enter this key in the configuration page. You will need the IP address of your server in order to sign up correctly. You can find this by typing "ping mysite.com" in a command window on your client computer.
