Yes, the current product only allows you to either ban the spider OR have a notification like output to log, email or create a thread, i have a beta which allows you to do both at the same time, a couple of people are trialing it right now.

You only need to have the mod active, ban spiders in list set to yes and some spiders in the list to ban :)

Thanks for voting MOTM, you will recieve an update when this beta is proven ;)

As far as I can tell it is.

This mod is awesome. Thank you so much. I was so sick of the Baidu spider on my site. I installed this mod and watch as they left one by one, and haven't been back. :D

Glad you're happy with it - watch out for the new release after this beta has been tested a while longer :)

Is anyone getting this in your error log?

are you using the beta or the one from the first post

It would be natural i suspect to get those, the mod performs all the redirects...etc at style_fetch, so in other words even though spiders...etc go straight for a url they never get to see it as it never completes for them hence the connection for them dying, however this mod does NOT give a Die(); command, it gives a 301 redirect.

@ForceHSS there's only you and one other using the beta and another has just requested to be a tester so that will be 3 of you :)

Did not know how many thought that might of been from the beta the reason I asked

Hows the testing going ForceHSS?

Not the beta
