Issue Summary
How reliable is this? Yesterday I was blocked from my site by BB, even though I was logged in, renaming the module file to stop it from working was my only option.
Reading the log now I see several blocked requests only today. How great is the risks that BB blocks valid requests? How great is the risk I block visitors that aren't bots or spiders but instead potential clients?
Comments
#1
I'm curious to see this too.
#2
Sorry to up this one, but the risk to block valid requests seems too high.
Many new users on my website deleted their account (many in a row), others couldn't post comments anymore.
I think this is caused by this module.
#3
I've been using BadBehavior for years and I can't even recall the last time i had a false-block. I check the logs regularly to make sure i'm not blocking valid vistors, and as best as i can tell, I'm not.. Only had one complaint in 4 years, and that was way back on BadBehavior 1.x
#4
Best answer is pretty reliable, but it depends on the site, traffic and situation.
