I recently posted about Fighting Directory Spam. The feedback I received was mixed, but the chap behind phpLinkDirectory was kind enough to comment.

“Thank you for your release of this mod.
In addition, we have been continuing to fine tune the methods over in the phpLD supporters forum as well, and when we reach a point where we have some solid controls in place, we will likely make a new release of both v2.1 and v.3.1. I can tell you that using the existing release of 3.1 I have been able to cut down spam by 95% already. Thanks again for your release.”

It appears that work has already started on preventing spam. Therefore I will not start working on my ideas for a new mod until I see what is released!
