reCPATCHA is almost as useless as CAPTCHA was, at this point.

Questions were, are, and will be the BEST method of spammer registration control.

even Bad Behavior will allow some through -- questions (especially in combination) are the BEST METHOD! :)

Humans might be registering the accounts and then posting with a script later. There seems to be sever days between registration and the first post.

We have several questions that are in place and have now changed them as well.

I had about three ani spam plugins running prior to the 2.1 RC2 upgrade in addition to questions.

Bad Behaviour just happened to be a fairly essential one according to our logs.

I've been using obscure questions that only people who are fans of my website would know and bots still seem to get through. It really is a never ending flood no matter what you do.

Well, I have no had a single spammer get through both questions and bad behavior in 3 years now.

You need
1- 20+ questions, asking 2-3 per registration
2- change your question set at least yearly.

I can't find any references (in here, at least) that point to it but I'm rather baffled nobody ever mentioned/noticed that this mod, in smf_log_badbehavior uses "key" as a column name. Key is a reserved word and cannot be used as such...
It will instantly jam any upgrade procedure from ISO to UTF8, and it's overall just bad practice to use it I'd say. Luckily, since it jams, it won't corrupt any data so it's still safe to try to ugprade.

Pretty surprised since the rest of the mod is great and always used it on multiple sites, didn't see this one coming :P It would be nice if you could update it by simply renaming it in the db and files. Either way, I pointed it out and still thanks for an otherwise extremely solid mod :)

It's so powerful that on this post and even in the two PMs you sent me,you still answered my question very quickly and you're apologizing for the delay. You're the #1 support I've probably ever encountered man, so much respect for that. Thank you, and get better soon.

I'll keep this in my siggy for a while just to remind me that someone appreciated what I did while others didn't.

Gladly but "Key"DB column name is part of the core and I will only modify the code to allow support of SMF.  I suggest you request the change with he owner of the core  Michael Hampton at https://bad-behavior.ioerror.us.  If He  changes the column name, I will have to change my code to support it.

I have been truly inspired by the SUGGESTIONS as I sit on my throne and contemplate the wisdom imposed upon me.

Bit of a necro, but I noticed that Cloudflare recommends you use this mod in order to restore accurate IP logging. Are there any known compatability issues with 2.0.17?

I doubt it. Just got to get around to see what needs to be changes..  Been busy working on business firewalls...  I will get back to it.

Is this mod still supported?  Having problem installing it on 2.0.19 test forum.

@Sir Osis of Liver I never really check here and it's super late but what was your issue? It was working for me on production, just had to uninstall it for the upgrade from 2.0.19 to 2.1.2 on production due to the database issue I mentioned two and a half years ago. The mod also does not clean after itself after uninstallation, it leaves log_badbehavior table in the database.
Original author deleted his own website so I figure it won't be updated anymore either.

With a tiny bit of tinkering (fails on ManagePermissions so nothing major) I reckon this thing can work on 2.1 as well, just not completely out of the box but close. I feel edgy, will try it later in 2.1.2 testing for production environment.

I remember it being annoying with Cloudflare for IP detection, you gotta use X-FORWARDED-FOR as reverse proxy if I'm not mistaken, it's been a while. But other than that it was gud.

This is one of the last few remaining large mods that I went without after upgrading my site. Is good news if fixing this to work on 2.1 is minimal.

Urgh, the file changes aren't hard, but it crashes upon install with:
Unknown storage engine 'I'
File: censoredpath/Packages/temp/Bad_Behavior_1.5.21/install_db.php
Line: 231
I figure it fails due to the fact that I have InnoDB as default engine?
