Stopping bad behavior

As you know, I am always on the lookout for ways of securing your blogs, (and the whole site as well), and preventing comment/trackback spam from happening.

I found a great site, http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/, that offers a great script to monitor spammers bad behaviors. I had to make some small changes to their script so it works on the whole site.
Robots that are blocked are taken to a page telling them what the problem might have been, (just in case they feel that it is not fair).

As you can see on the stats menu, (menu on the left hand site), a few bad guys have already been stopped. Time will tell how well the system will work.

For the time been those few bots been blocked are still included in the stats, but I will remove them in a while, (but I don't think that it will make much difference to the overall numbers really).

As always, let me know if you see something odd.
