I think its great that we can submit spammer information to here - it should build up into a good solid list of spammers.
What would be good would be a bulk upload feature.
If it could be set up that we provide our API key and can then provide a CSV file of the name,email address and IP then it would be much easier. I have come in some mornings and found over 50 or 60 spam registration attemps.

It's on the list of things to do and I think it would help make things easier if you have a lot of submissions.

I counted nearly 78 in about two days.

Good, I was getting about 20-30 a day that were getting passed the confirm email address part. Then I added all the @email.com from your spam list to my ban list and that has cut it back to about ten a day. Most are now gmail addresss. Google needs to jump on that.

I haven't forgotten about this yet, it's still on my to do list.

I have a Modified version od the AntiSpam ACP that submits the contents of the Spam Log in 2 clicks, which can be a lot of spammers if i havn't cleaned it out recently... :s
in a way, if you have a method like that on your forum, you can have a built-in Mass-Spammer submission system that doesn't take that much effort to submit the info.
If your board runs PHPBB2 i'll send you a (my modified) copy of the AntiSpam ACP which also has IP lookup and E-mail lookup linked to this site. (Just added 5 mins before typing this post up, works a treat
)

Can you send it to me? If you like, I can add it to the downloads page and give you credit for writing it.

Well, since i didn't write the AntiSpam ACP, i wouldn't like to get credited for writing that, but i'll happily send you a copy of my modified version once i have the API key configuration added.
EDIT: It's all done and ready to send to you. I want to get the original writer's permission first.
BTW, i havn't tested installing it yet, but everything should work. I'm only a tad sceptical about the API key field in the MySQL database...

Ok, i've been given permission by the writer, so i'll send you it later. I'll slap together some documentation for it and send it to you when i get home after work later on.

I wish there was a bulk upload feature too. I currently have a database of 2,002 banned registrations and would love to add them but it would take a lot of time to go do them.

I've been doing mine a few at a time. But I only had about 200 to start with. I would imagine that 2000 would take some time. But by all means, add some of them. Because some is better than none. ![]()
