I just installed my Spam-o-Matic last night, and was absolutely thrilled with it until I noticed a few spammers getting on. Took me a while to realise that happened. Stop Forum Spam is down... Drat and darn it!

One of the Glow Host options is: What should happen if the remote connection times out when querying the new registration? And it was set to Allow Registration.

I realised that the remote connection must be timing out and so I tried to get on to Stop Forum Span in another tab, and that's when I found out it was down.

I didn't think there was any point in setting it to Block Registration because that way, a lot of innocent people could get caught by it.

So I've had to stop user registrations totally for a while, while SFS get it sorted out.

I'm wondering though how often SFS gets brought it down, since so many of us are reliant on them?
