Installation
Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Examples/Usage
Install this plugin on your server and before a user can create an account their data is checked against a large database of known spammers at http://stopforumspam.com
Users who are found will be blocked, users who are not found will be passed through.
Logging
All registration attempts are recorded in CSV files, in the data/spamlogger directory of your site or farm animal. These files can be downloaded and viewed in most spreadsheet programs.
These files are not deleted, but they will tend to pile up over time, so it's a good idea to delete them after a while.

Discussion
Installing through extension manager gives the following error, though it seems to install anyway:
Error, the requested extension hasn't been installed or updated
Additionally, a feature request: some kind of log through which banned ip's can be viewed (mostly in case of false-positives).
Thanks for the heads up. I think the installation requirements changed in Hrun or Detrietus, I'll have to figure out the new requirements.
