First of all, let me compliment you on your mod. I really like what you’re doing here. Also, congratulations on the new baby! I know that you are trying to keep the scope of the project from getting out of hand and that you also want to spend time with your family (which, I completely agree with)… But here is a suggestion that would be easy to add and would be a really nice compliment to the mod you already have. When you get a chance, take a look at Project Honey Pot (www.projecthoneypot.org). They have a list of known automated spammer ip addresses similar to the http://www.stopforumspam.com list, except the list is bigger, and probably less vulnerable to list contamination because of the way that the ip addresses are collected. Since they have an established api and sample code it would be really simple to have your mod query their data base in addition to the stop forum spam database.

Here’s a link to some sample code as well as some information about their api:

http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_api

I hope that you like the idea. Let me know what you think.
