Love the module, but am getting this error from submissions to stopforumspam:

Duplicate Entry

You recently submitted this spammer. Please wait one minute and try again

This is due to having the 'Report blocked user registrations as spammers' option turned on and the spammer trying multiple registrations quickly, causing multiple reports.

It seems stopforumspam doesn't like multiple reports in quick succession so the spambot module should have some way to avoid this problem.

Hi,

Where is this message from? stopforumspam's website or your drupal site logs?

You could try the 'If blacklisted, delay for' option in admin/settings/spambot as a possible partial workaround.

Other than that, I dunno. Adding throttling is a hassle because I'd have to add code and database storage to keep track of things.

In the Drupal log there is a failure message with the body returned from stopforumspam. The message is in part of the page returned there.

Already have a 10 second delay for spammers but don't really want to make that 60 seconds :(

Blocked registrations shouldn't be reported at all in the first place.
See:
#1817292: Important: Don't report spammers without evidence.

Status: Active » Fixed

This issue is bypassed because www.stopforumspam.com policy now requires reporting to provide evidence. Automatic reporting without evidence has been removed as of spambot.module 6.x-3.3 and 7.x-1.2. Thank you.
