 * modify the configuration variables in the scripts
 * copy the scripts to `/usr/local/bin`
+* create the user

+        useradd -s /sbin/nologin _forumspam

+* if using `pf`:
+    * create appropriate permissions for the file:
+
+        install -m 640 -o _forumspam -g wheel /dev/null /etc/pf-forumspam.txt

+        table <forumspam> persist file "/etc/pf-forumspam.txt"
+        block in quick on egress from <forumspam>
+        block out quick on egress to <forumspam>

+        permit nopass _forumspam cmd pfctl args -t forumspam -T replace -f /etc/pf-forumspam.txt

 * register `q2a_usercheck.sh` as a systemd unit or rc script
 
 TODO:
 * also check against [botscout](http://botscout.com/api.htm)
-* add support for pf
+* give the scripts more sensible names
-* add support for iptables
