Does this have an option to just block registrations?

No, blocking the bot, in affect stops them from your site all together, which is what you want to do with bad bots. :)

When you've blocked a useragent they offender cannot even load a page on your site, so they cannot register or do anything.

I used to see upwards of about 100-200 bots/guests on my board at all times of the day. I installed Simon's MOD last week and it has practically eliminated all the bad bots from seeing my website! I only see legit bots/guests viewing my website now!

Very happy with this MOD!

Nice to hear its doing its job as well ad expected :-)

Ok I got a question, every once in awhile, I notice bots that are in the list, showing up in WOL, it is not often, but it does happen.

Is it possible that at the exact moment those spiders are hitting that a cron is running, and allowing the bots to bypass the check?

The bots aren't bypassing the check and the mod is live, it doesn't use cron, the mod runs at every page call. You'll see them now and then as they do actually have to make a call for a page of some sort in order to be checked then redirected, it may be at this moment of redirection that they get on the WOL list, but as you are aware the list isn't live and is subject to the timeout period you set in admincp (mines set for 900 seconds), one other reason you could see them is if you use a mod for who visited ...etc like Paul M's one, they will always show there as his mod is doing it's job recording them but mine is equally doing it's job by transporting them anwhere but they're intended page :)

I know they show in his mod, but it is just strange seeing them show up in online.php page.

I remember back in 2011 when I beta tested this for you, that never happened. :confused:

I use that Mod on two boards and never, ever saw a spider on this list, appear there. I have also never seen a spider on this list, showing up in WoL.

I am on vB3.8 though..... And they do not and never have shown up in Paul's Mod.

Strange, they have always showed in Paul's mod for me. Which is fine, I just don't get the WOL deal.
