In reply to: Over 1000 spam moderated, I can’t erase them.Forget the captcha, use Bad Behaviour to help stop spam before it starts.
As for the existing ones, Spam Nuker should get them cleared out of the database.

In reply to: Pingback Problems with Bad Behavior v1.2.2The patch was made against 1.5.2. It should apply cleanly to 1.5.2 or current 1.6 SVN code.

In reply to: Pingback Problems with Bad Behavior v1.2.2I’ve added a patch to bug 1713 which will send a proper User-Agent on those outgoing connections. Enjoy!
The blog that sends you a pingback must have this patch applied, in order for Bad Behavior to allow the pingback.

In reply to: Tons of wp-trackback.php POST requests! Help!Bad Behavior lets a very small amount of spam through by design. This is because of my aversion to false positives. If you’re seeing “plenty of spam,” you probably forgot to activate the plugin. 🙂
A site getting 500 spams a day without Bad Behavior should see fewer than 10 a day with Bad Behavior on average. And I’m still working on it.

In reply to: WordPress Website redesign?Ksec seems to be saying that the WordPress developers should put more thought into the design of the Web site than the design of the actual product.

In reply to: Bizarre comment glitchYou need to paste the PayPal code correctly, it appears. You should have a </form> somewhere in the PayPal code, and I don’t see it there.
Also, a LOT of people have trouble with the encrypted buttons, while the non-encrypted buttons work just fine. If you continue to have trouble, or have other trouble with the button, switch to the non-encrypted one.

In reply to: Thanks for Bad Behavior, but…Hm, the big problem is that search engine bots don’t always act like search engine bots, which they should. I have no idea what bot you saw, so I can’t do a whole lot about it. Read the Bad Behavior FAQ to find out how to submit this bot, and then I can see what I can do.
In short, go into phpMyAdmin and search the bad_behavior_log table for that IP address. Then hit Export on the search results, and send me the file, to [email protected] .

In reply to: Trackback SpamAs the author of Bad Behavior, I will say that I run Bad Behavior and Spam Karma 2 on my own blogs.
Spam Karma 2 will definitely catch pretty much every bit of spam you might ever receive at your blog. The problem is, there’s so much of it! You may well receive hundreds or thousands of spams in a single day if your blog has been around a while.
That’s why there’s Bad Behavior. By cutting out 99% of the spam before it ever hits your site, you don’t have to deal with dozens of Spam Karma email messages and thousands of spams. On a really bad day, SK2 might catch 30 spams that got by Bad Behavior, while BB stopped the first 2,000.
Not to mention the possibility (and it happens) that Spam Karma 2 will mark a legitimate message as spam. You’ll have to go rescue it. And it’s much easier to find that message in a queue of 30 spams than a queue of 2,000 spams.
I’d call that pretty decent.
