When will we able to add spammers to the stopforumspam from vbulletin?

The only real thing stopping it being included right now is that the guy who runs stopforumspam.com doesnt have an API system for submitting data yet. What I am doing in v0.7 is using cURL to submit data to his online HTML form. Its not ideal for a couple of reasons
- If he changes the form code, its values or does referring checking, it breaks all the template code. The results have to be parsed out of HTML code, rather than the current read API where the results are in a known XML format
- If you dont have cURL installed on your webserver, then you have to use a local form in your template, which exposes your API key to anyone you grant vbStopForumSpam access to. This would then allow them to use your key to create false records on the stopforumspam server (if they wanted to be malicious)
Its not me delaying the ability to submit data, its just waiting on the finalised API from russ (who seems to be a very very busy guy)
