Bad Behavior for SMF mod

[butchs]

There is gong to be a delay in me looking at the code.  My computer fan burned out and I am waiting fro a new one.

I have one user complaining of persistently getting kicked out of sending a PM, the Denial Reason is "POST more than two days after GET". He's only using the regular PM screens in SMF, and not using a proxy, so doesn't seem to fit any of the reasons I have seen listed for this denial. Any idea why he (and no one else in the history of the forum as I recall) could be getting this?

That error is a is under post and is to test for trackback spam.  The test in question is checking if the maximum duration of the bad behavior cookie/ post is excessive.  Maybe he is taking hours to post or possibly His cookies are disabled.  You can try checking "EU Cookie Handling" to disable the cookie check, then it will only check the post timing.  Please note that nothing will happen unless you completely flush the server cache and he wipes out his computers cache.

For the first time in a long time I am receiving a heck of a lot of spam, is this mod still working?

[butchs]

It is working just fine.  Check your http:BL Access Key.

[Kindred]

also check your other spam prevention methods...

Today I also got few spammers, and I see that project website is closed for maintenance (on Facebook fanpage there are comments that site is not working for few weeks now).

[Biology Forums]

It is down, that's for sure

[butchs]

I really cannot help you with posts like that.  Commentary explains nothing.

If you do not see green "Project Honey Pot is online." at the top then go to the honeypot site and check your status, change password and confirm your access key.  Maybe you should uninstall and reinstall the mod?  Maybe your host is blocking Project Honey Pot?

from the httpBL thread - Project Honeypot's database that it uses for spam detection IS online. There is just no way to register for it at the moment, for new users.

[butchs]

This mod does more than just honey pot.

I'm using 1.x and I believe this has officially stopped working even though it reports "Online" in the admin area

[Kindred]

   AFAIK, Bad behavior AND httpBL both still work perfectly well with the current version of the mod

[butchs]

Thanks Kindred.  That would have been my reply.

[landyvlad]

By the way Project Honeypot is now back up and allowing people to register etc.

Question.  I currently have "Stop Spammer" and "httpBL" mods running on my site.

Does the "Bad Behaviour for SMF mod" offer anything additional which is not already be done by the combination of those two mods?

Would it be worth it / useful / beneficial to have all three installed, or would I gain nothing extra?

[Kindred]

This uses the bad behavior script... (and has httpBL also built in)

so, if you use this, you don't need the other httpBL only mod

[butchs]

See the first post for a link to the bad behavior script website.

Thanks

I don't know if anyone has a thought or suggestion on this one, but I notice the following error when I get a certain type of suspicious activity. There is no user agent and the following error occurs with the accompanying bad action shown in the picture. Thanks in advance.
