PM me on there if you find you become instantly moderated
I moderate some countries straight off

If you use it, white list all the google ips etc. Just to be safe

My own black list changes on a daily basis

What I also do know is keep an eye on my logs
Project honey pot is good. But I catch a lot that have not been caught yet
Today I had one moron hit 42 times from different ips on a banned user agent that were not listed there
All they have to do is rotate the user agents and they are happily scraping your content

I also work on the idea of banning some agents that they use a lot and at the same time, might block a genuine hit or three in the process. I had a case where I was taking 200 bad hits a day on one agent and five good ones. It was a no brainer to ban it

Things like Opera auto update. If a person aint got the brains to update opera, they aint got the brains to use a forum

Where do I find the logs? I don't see a log file anywhere obvious.

Also, aren't the Google IPs inherently whitelisted or do I have to go in and add them?

Sorry for the dumb questions, just trying to get this thing set up to a modest level of security without a lot of time I have to spend researching or editing.
