Please people, you must understand this
The database WILL provide a tiny amount of false positives known as "back scatter"
Its the same as a spammer using your email address as the "from" source when spamming millions of people. You will get the bounces. Same thing here. If a forum spammer uses an IP address on an ISP that trunks everything out a proxy server (ie AOL) or from an IP address that you happened to have been assigned when you dialup, then that IP address is listed.
Simple solution
- Dont block on IP addresses.
- Configure the mod to IGNORE positive results older than 30 days.
- Set your forum NOT to block registrations if our database is not available
Functionality was been provided, please use it. Again, please dont just post "It stopped working" without providing logs or details, youll just get ignored. If you would like some help and support, its a two way street.
