FWIW, I wont be able to attend tonight's discussion (Wednesdays I have
a long-standing appointment at the exact same time).

I did take a chance to look through the modules a bit, however, and
would like to point this one out:
* http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1849

I've read about Project Honey Pot before (probably on reddit) and
remember thinking it was an interesting idea. I'm not a huge fan of
giant third-party blacklists (they can become abused) but I don't
recall hearing anything negative about this particular project.

So, if someone wanted to bring this mod up in my absence, feel free :-)
