Any interest in adding an additional column to the forward_log table to track the uid of the forwarding user? This can be used to generate an event-feed for the user (e.g. "things this user has fowarded") and also fits well with userpoints.

Would be a pretty easy patch to roll if you're interested in the functionality.

That's a great idea! Don't know why I never thought of that. LOL. Might be better to put it in the forward statistics table, though, rather than in the log table.

Title: Track forwards by user? » More detailed forward tracking
Version: 5.x-1.9 » 6.x-1.x-dev

I've had some spammers using forward through my site, I quickly added a CAPTCHA to the form but it still seemed to continue.

It would be great to have much more detailed logging for the module to help combat spam usage, so that we could check for spam patterns and if necessary block the IP address(es) from the site.

Off the top of my head, the new fields could be uid, IP Address, sender email, recipient email count and length of message.

If they were exposed with views that would be even better so that exposed filters could be used.
