+<p>Stop Forum Spam is a centralized, server-based service that provides lists of 
+ips, usernames and email addresses of know spammers of forums and blogs. With this 
+module enabled, on new user registrations the ip of the user and email address 
+will be checked against the SFS database. If found the Geeklog user account will 
+not be created.</p>

-    is a new service providing a way of trapping malicious web users with
-    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_%28computing%29" title="view the wikipedia definition of a Honeypot">honeypots</a>.
-    Essentially this provides traps for email address harvesting bots, spammers,
-    and people trying to exploit web sites. Using the honeypots, the project
-    gathers and maintains an active blacklist of IP addresses categorised by
-    threat type, level and activity.</p>
+<p>SFS is a free service and can be found at <a
+href="http://www.stopforumspam.com/">www.stopforumspam.com</a>.
 
-<p>With the ProjectHoneyPot filter module, you can block posts from known bad
-    ip addresses as identified by the <a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_configure.php">http:BL</a>
-    blacklist.
-    </p>
-    <p>In order to do so, you must first <a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/create_account.php">Register with projectHoneyPot</a>,
-        <a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/manage_honey_pots.php">install a honeypot</a> or

-        <a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_configure.php">get an access key</a>
-        for the http:BL.</p>
-    <p>Once you have done this, and inserted appropriate details into the Spam-X
-        config.php file, http:BL blocking will be used for all filtered content
-    automatically.</p>
+<p><strong><a name="sfsprivacy">Privacy Notice:</a></strong>
+Enabling SFS means that user information (ip and email address) from your site 
+is being sent to a third party. In some legislations you may have to inform your

+<h3><a name="snl">Spam Number of Links (SNL)</a></h3>
 
+<p>With this module enabled you can limit the number of links that appear in a 
+post and user profile. To enable the module and set the number of links you need 
+to update the Spam-X configuration. If enabled you should allow at least 1 link 
+to take into account when a user creates a profile since Homepage is a default 
+user field.</p>
