Bad Behavior

Bad behavior just WORKS! The bad behavior block count in the footer of the page shows 231. It is pretty powerful because I have only installed it for 2 days. There is no spam in the comment, and there is only one spam found. I have just added bad behavior on my forum and let us check out how it does.

Bad Behavior works by checking the HTTP user agent, check the database of the bad bots, if matches, block them entirely. Because this works before the bot can even get into your site, it saves your time by not loading the entire page. I think any CMS should have incorporate this system into their script because for the basic function, only one line of code is need to be added.
