As you've downloaded thsi could you mark it as installed?
This particular mod is for banning User Agents, i do have another that's specifically for IP's https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=268146

Keep an eye out for my upcoming geo-banning of users :)

That will be another great mod Simon :up:, can I add this phrase to the list of user agents: Baiduspider/2.0 or just Baidu or Baiduspider?

simply Baidu will do it :)

I'm curently working on geo-banning and geo-targeting for ads (so you can maximise your revenue).

Superb :up: ... does that mean I can allow traffic from some countries to google adsense ads and block traffic to ads from other countries with low click revenue? :confused:

When i release it you will be able to target one country with ad_navbar_below and ad_ foorter everyone else will see what they always have seen!, thats the lite version, the full version will cater for multiple countries where you can designate ads to be shown in any current vbulletin ad location :)

Simon, I have a dumb question for you. I installed your mod but when I go into the "Who's Online" page I can still see bots hammering away at restricted areas in my site. How do I go about adding the user agent to the spider list on your add-on control panel? I figured out how to display the full user agent string. For example, I have one right now that reports:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; PeoplePal

Looking at this string, what do I enter into the Spider List in the Ban Spider settings?

Just enter funwebproducts :)
You can use the entire string if you wish or even peoplepal, you will see the bots who are in the banned list for anything up to an hour after install and you may on the odd occassion see them in the list but rest assured that they are being redirected, if you notice them there all the time still then pm me admin access to your site with permissions and i'll sort that for you :)

See the pic for adding to the list :)

Sounds easy enough. But here is one from russia and the user agent is listed simply as:

Opera/9.00 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)

What do I enter for this one? Seems like if I enter the entire string, it would potentially block a legit user.

Nope :) enter the entire string!, if by some very remote chance you find you've blocked a legit user then let me know and we'll work something out.

Installed, thanks!
