Bad Behavior mod - The Web's premier link spam killer (Now with SMF 2 httpBL)

Please let me know what you think?
By the way, though not recommended by all, I prefer to use strict mode. It gets rid of those spammers hiding behind proxies.

I will do that. I don't know how much it will work right away. I've only got one person signed up this week. :-\

I doubt you will see much until you get more members. My board has a medium-low visitor rate. I was getting over 150 visitors a day when I started using the mod. the first week Bad Behavior rejected 180 bad bots, the next week it was 80, then it slowed down to around 40 per week.
One heavily used web pages I have seen numbers from 1,000 - 3,000 rejected bad bots per week.

Been testing this puppy for a few days on a 2.0 RC3 test site. Now, after checking all the blocked IPs there is just one thing to say.. It works GREAT!
The install, although very simple, was at first a bit confusing. But reading ALL of the instructions helped.
One question,
How does this work for an admin or user with a dynamic IP? Just curious. :)
butchs:
Logged in admin users are skipped and are not checked.
I recommend that you put your IP in the whitelist just to be safe. You can enter the IP range too. I do not think that dynamic IP's will have a issue but if they do then they will need to enter the IP range of the host.
It is more important to review the whitelist and make sure that IP and URL of the forum is covered assuming that you have a non standard directory system. ie. "forum/index.php" instead of the standard "smf/index.php".
