I’ve followed the 2013 spam topic and would like to suggest a simple enhancement to the “Delete and block this email and IP” button: submit the email address and IP to StopForumSpam.com using their API.

You will need a key in order to do this – that’s how we keep track of what’s going on. In order to obtain your own key, please join our forums and check out this page to start.
I checked into this, and it’s “don’t ask us, we’ll ask you” joining.
We also had mixed results when checking their results by hand against live spam IPs. Overall I feel it is a waste of time versus Akismet, which is already supported, and can bayesian train to the actual content on your site.
Too bad SFS didn’t compare well with Akismet in your tests. It’s been a quick way for me to see how spammy an IP has been (I tweaked MyBB’s /admin/users/ page to hyperlink the IP to a stopforumspam search).
For what it’s worth, I wrote a MyBB plugin for StopForumSpam.com and have an API key I can donate.
A good PR we would definitely accept would be a link on a user’s admin page to look up their IP at SFS.com – sort of like the geolocation link that’s already there.

¿Ha avanzado esto en algo?
Realmente agradecería tener al menos una “búsqueda en SFS” en la página de administración.
Sería un plus poder “eliminar al spammer e informar a SFS”, como se mencionó en la primera publicación.
No tenemos planes para esto, ya que Akismet funciona muy bien para nosotros. Sería como “cinturón y tirantes”. Así que es una solicitud de la comunidad: si quieres financiarla o trabajar en ella, ¡te damos la bienvenida!
