Description

When using Bad Behavior, sites such as stumbleupon.com and pageflakes.com cannot access the site since BB identifies them as spambots and promptly returns an HTTP 412 Precondition Failed error. I have had to disable BB in order to allow these sites access and so that people can subscribe to my RSS feed using pageflakes.com's service.

Well guess what, I just found out that bad behaviour was blocking google.com from my site for more than a month now....

Weird how it worked for nearly a year and now my site is going out of the index because of that, it created a lot of crazy google related problems...

Any action recommended besides disabling the module?
