Firstly that does exactly as it says, It WILL create threads!, hundreds and hundreds of them :) and one of the members here who say they have it set to "yes" chose to do so!

Downloaded, suggested this by a friend.

Think must be useful, let us see how it works.

Thanx.

G!

Well done Simon.

We were having an infestation of Baidu Spiders but your Mod took care of them. I installed it last night and this morning they (and others) were gone.

Glad it's helping you :)

hmmm,

why do i have all this in my ""VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics"

this:

* activity from bot no.7 (baidu) in your list*

also notice from 2 other bots like: yandex and webster.

thanks for any help...

In forum statistics you will see the bot activity as they do access your site but are then redirected before they can open the thread...etc that they were attempting, if you are seeing the actual phrase "activity from bot no.7 (baidu) in your list" then it's because you have the notifications turned on in the mod :)

so just turn off the option at: "Create New Thread" ?
thanks

Yep, turn it off, it's just a way of monitoring it working or if you are only testing one bot at a time, otherwise you'll get thousands of the damn things ;)

Awesome mod, thanks!

Saved our community from Baidu, hundreds of bots were online persistenly to the point of crashing our server.

Please mark it as installed :)
