My Autoblogging script recently had some signups & new posts blocked by Bad Behaviour and I tried a workaround. Though I’ve only tried on Bad Behavior 2.0.11 till now.

I did a Curl get, regexed the bb2_screener_ value (say as $regexval) and submitted a Curl post request to same page with params as ‘bb2_screener_=urlencode($regexval)’

And I was able to retrieve the “protected” page without any issues. I could code this into my Autoblogger script to check if BadBeahviour is installed; if its installed it will do the above “emulation” technique for every Curl autopost request.

I’ll have to look into the code for your new versions to figure if they can be “emulated” as well

I don’t run WP Robert, but I rolled my own: http://tinyurl.com/badBehaviour (URL Obfuscated because I’m not too interested in getting that site spidered more than it currently is at the moment)

Do you really need to know any/all of that data over and above the actual number blocked?

One feature suggestion: to see the entrys of the table wp_badbehaviour, I always have to use phpmyadmin which is quite annoying. It would be great, it the entries of this table would be shown directly under Settings / Bad Behaviour

I agree, 27 seconds is excessive. Though it’s been my experience that such long delays are almost always caused by the web hosting provider. I’ll e-mail you to get further details.

Thanks, I gave it a go. Sadly, it has the same problems the last version I was using (2.0.16 IIRC) had. Anything requiring a write action (posting a comment, making a new category, or publishing a blog entry, etc.) takes significantly longer. Creating a new category, for instance, goes from 1 second to 27 seconds with Bad Behavior enabled.

Maybe, as others have mentioned, its an issue with WordPress-MU rather than with Bad Behavior. I’m disappointed, but I just can’t take the lag anymore.
