Looking forward to Max's thumbs up!

Kudos to all the people collaborating on this thread!

I really is good to see people working together as a community for a common goal!

I for one could not have a successful site if it wasn't for people like yourselves!

Yeah in the past 72 hrs, I have successfully blocked Baidu over 5400 times. :)

Can you share with us how you done this?

Simon has the changes, when he has time he will go over it, and if he wants, release a update. :)

Ozzy47's xml has been uploaded and an update sent out, thanks Chris nice work! :)

Not a problem sir, glad to help make this great mod just a bit better. :)

Installed and already working.

I will post a screen shot of WOL before and after in a little while... I want to have it in place for a little bit so it can start to really do it's thing.

Home page stats in 2 min is reporting 43 blocked

Working Brilliantly!

In less than 10min I went from 30+ Searchbots according to WOL to 14 and they are all the good ones (Google, Bing, Yahoo)

My server loads went from high 3 and 4 to 1.5 (ish)

Output file is showing Baidu being blocked among others. (most seem to be coming from Yandex)

You should all be commended on great work!

Excellent, glad to hear it has worked so well so far. :)

Version 3.1.1 uploaded, slight bug fix, stopped spiders/bots being counted when mod is off!
