Sorry, your English and rational both are very poor, can you restate your text please?

sorry i will simplify

both this product and mine use projecthoneypot and you said it basically reports the same as mine, so as a suggestion you will need to contact projecthoneypot
with the IP's from the bots so they can investigate it for you


more than likely both our mods report the same thing because its designed to do that
google webmaster tools suggests that it has not issues crawling and no errors visiting

Eh, no, that is not what I said. That is what you summized and wrongly reported. Your product wrongly labels GoogleBot as a link referer spammer when project honeypot says nothing of the sort; project honeypot says the bot is Google, nothing more, so why would I want to contact them? Anyway, it is mute, as your product has multiple flaws, including the fact the report file is targetting by link referer spammers (your report file is publicly viewable and therefore when it reports the actions of a spammer, it thereby gives the spammer a file / link back to exploit) and I have now uninstalled it.

I have reinstalled Ban Spider by UserAgent which is excellent, and I am waiting for this Bad Behavior mod to be updated so I can also install it.

I'm not sure, but I think this mod may be getting in the way of Google services as well....

We operate Google's PageSpeed Service and we've been seeing a LOT of errors...

Maybe it's something else, but I've turned OFF this mod for now until someone can validate it's working correctly.

We were one of the original PayPal donators to thank the developer for the project ..

Dang!

I wish someone would produce a bad behaviour mod that has a bot (by name) whitelist, where anything in the whitelist is given a reverse dns lookup to verify they are whom they say. Because it seems this is a common enough problem, and the last bot I want to block is GoogleBot.

Update: We have now risen back where we belong on a Google search - well, almost - we're #2 behind Wikipedia. We had fallen all the way back several pages.

I noticed another oddity. When I went to Webmaster Tools last Saturday it only showed my site as "Shannondale.org", so I added "www.Shannondale.org". I always thought they were basically the same, but this morning I see my vb sitemap is only showing as having been submitted to "www.Shannondale.org". Does Google really expect two sitemaps and can vb even do that?

You want to avoid this, it can affect your rankings. Recommend you use htaccess to cover all bases (.domain-name.com, IP Address - resolve them both to www.domain-name.com).

am unstallingg. i use the default setting ....all guest are unable to view the forum,

Do not be fooled by the massive number of fake Google bots that are around these days. If the IP/CIDR does not reveal a Google bot then its fake.

Add the following to your whitelist.ini to unblock Google, Baidu Japan and Facebook:
Please be so kind to include the above into the next release.
The above CIDR ranges come from checking the whois on all bots that visited my big board while I had BB turned off for testing. The above IP ranges belong to valid spiders which are blocked if this is not added to the whitelist.

Does BB whitelist the IPs of pingdom?

Pingdom should be whitelisted

The trouble is, you do not know whether something is a true GoogeBot or not as Google do not publish all of their IP ranges for obvious reasons. The only safeguard is to do a reverse dns lookup.
