Hi all, the planned release of the Beta i mentioned won't happen today, our daughter struggled terribly to bring our grandson in to the world so all my thoughts and efforts have been toward helping her.
For the next week or so my support here may be sporadic because of that, so if by chance you don't get an answer from me right away please be patient and i will answer.

Installed on forum version 4.1.7 and works great! We used to have 150+ spider bots crawling the site (mostly Baidu) and after we're down to 5-10: Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
Good stuff

Glad you like it
do you want to try the beta? the beta is where i'm attempting to get both the banning AND the create thread working together, right now they will only work one at a time so either you can ban OR you can create thread (on detection) OR create log OR send email notification.No pressure but im looking for testers

So far the beta seems to be working great, I have Baidu in there now and it is posting threads, and showing in the output.txt, it was not doing either before.
