I have worked with GeekLog for a few years now and I have developed a number of custom plugins for several sites. For quite some time I have been thinking about releasing a few public versions of a few of the plugins. At the same time a new site for this has been created.

SLV (Spam Link Verification) is a service run by Russ Jones at www.linksleeve.org. The idea is that interactive sites like Geeklog or forums send all user-contributed posts to SLV first which then checks if certain links show up in unusually high amounts.
