Adding to the Database

You can report a spammer to the StopForumSpam database using reportSpam(). This requires an API key (set STOPFORUMSPAM_APIKEY in your .env) and all three of: ip, email, and username. Evidence is optional and should be the post content. Do not include your email or site URL in Evidence.

See Adding to the Database for more information: https://www.stopforumspam.com/usage

\StopForumSpam::setIp('8.8.8.8')
    ->setEmail('spam@example.com')
    ->setUsername('spammer')
    ->reportSpam();

// Optionally include evidence
\StopForumSpam::setIp('8.8.8.8')
    ->setEmail('spam@example.com')
    ->setUsername('spammer')
    ->setEvidence('Posted 50 identical spam messages.')
    ->reportSpam();

Returns true on success. Throws a MalformedIPException if the IP is invalid, a MalformedEmailException if the email is invalid, or an Exception if the API key or any required field is missing.
