Description:

Spam Prevention Strategy
Bad Behavior is completely different from any other anti-spam solution out there, in that it doesn?t specifically target spam itself. Rather, it targets the methods by which the spam is delivered. While a somewhat similar solution called mod_security exists, it has a rather different purpose, doesn?t target spam, and regular people can?t install mod_security on their shared web hosting accounts. Bad Behavior blocks spam as well as other malicious activity and can be installed by anyone

In this way Bad Behavior saves you time and frustration and gives you peace of mind by turning spam from a colossal nightmare into, well, not much at all.

Project Honeypot Integration
To participate in Project Honey Pot, webmasters need only install the Project Honey Pot software somewhere on their website. We handle the rest ? automatically distributing addresses and receiving the mail they generate. As a result, we anticipate installing Project Honey Pot should not increase the traffic or load to your website

we have already made this possible for you, all you need to do is signup with www.projecthoneypot.org

No. It does not block bots from reputable search engines but only known spam ip's and link spam.

Hello Simon,

The log file will get bigger day by day cause the way you create logging is append. And I think if the MOD can self generate log file daily is the best.

Thanks.

I am a little confused here.... I installed the first relase with no issues and it was working fine. I just upgraded to ProjecthoneyPot 4.1.0b 1a.zip and I get the following error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bb2_db_date() (previously declared in /home/masscops/public_html/bad-behavior/bad-behavior-generic.php:51) in /home/masscops/public_html/includes/functions.php(6469) : eval()'d code on line 48

Should I uninstall and do a reinstall and where should the folder "bad-behavior" be uploaded?

Do I use the xml product listed above the zip files or do I use the xml product in the zip file ProjecthoneyPot 4.1.0b 1a.zip ??

I also already have a "bad-behavior" folder in my forum root from a previous install, do I delete that one now??

Sorry to sound like a noob but I'm having trouble following the new updates etc...

You may also run into legal issues, Simon, if you try to charge money for some of these features. I know, for instance, that the Bad Behavior script specifically prohibits this.

I'm not trying to discourage development and I know that programming is often thankless but you will want to look into legal concerns before trying to charge money for the components of this addon. If there is going to be a Pro version you'll have to figure out what you can and cannot charge for and break apart those that you're required by the original developers to keep free.

I don't like the Spam integration. It slows down the site and causes strange errors for some users. I would prefer the ability to be able to enable/disable from the Product settings rather than having to disable the Plugins.
