Firstly, SᴩiDᴇЯ has zero idea what hes talking about

I stopped the system from being able to bulk issue API keys to anonymous users who simply provided an email address. We made it so that you needed to sign up to the forum, to validate your email address and thus record where you were coming from IN ORDER TO SUBMIT DATA

Then you could get an API key to SUBMIT to the database. You DONT NEED an api key in order to use the api.

I believe that you simply didnt read the mod details as it says "You need to have an API key from www.stopforumspam.com in order to submit data, its free and easy to get... You DONT need an API key in order to use this mod however, only to submit spammer data." Just under the big red letters. Unlike other lists of spammers, BotScout, project honeypot etc, where you are required to register to read the database, we dont do that.

If you want to remove the mod, then please do. Infact, I hope that you do, so that I dont have to deal with you again. Can you say "gift horse mouth"

As someone who obviously runs a forum, would you let people post on your forum without logging in or registering? No? Well, now, neither do we. For all the pain of joining our community to use a service provided for free, is that just perhaps a little too much to ask huh?
