Thanks for the great plugin. My site is only a little bit older than a month, but that doesn’t mean spammers won’t find you: BB has stopped over 3000 access attempts in the last seven days. Can you imagine the mess if I wouldn’t have installed BB?

So you suggest removing Blackhole (because BB1.2 is capable of doing the job on its own)?

BIllSaysThis, this release is independent of the Bad Behavior Blackhole.

During release candidate testing I was able to test sending data to the blackhole, and as a result of the test, determined it would be entirely unnecessary for most people, but very low traffic sites would benefit from it.

The sending of any data has been removed from this release.

It’s likely to come back in the future, for the benefit it will provide to low-traffic sites, but Bad Behavior is quite capable of finding spammers on its own, assuming the spammers actually visit.

Is there any correlation with BB Blackhole or is this release independent of that?

Thanks!
