Hi Michael,

We’ve just released a private beta version of FairShare, our free blogger service (www.fairshare.cc). A handful of users with the Bad Behavior plug-in have been unable to use FairShare because we can’t crawl their sites. I wanted to get your idea on what we could do to get on the whitelist. We have a couple ideas here but wanted to talk to you first.

Alright. I had come here to report about the latest version’s issue but I think I have seen enough people report it to u already. So, I guess I will leave it to that. I will wait for a fix from you and in the meantime I’m reverting back to 2.0.20 as BB cannot be removed from the blog you know! Protects what’s good

Michael,

Thanks again for sending the email – it is now in the hands of our crawling team and they should be in touch shortly if they haven’t already.

Thanks a lot for the feedback – each publisher takes a different approach to their content. We’re hoping to guide the way with best practice documents that have them starting with the link request and only escalating to removal notices as a last resort.

Despite the occasional flare-ups, most publishers are indeed coming around to the value of a link. I’m not sure if Reuters or AP will listen to me but I will definitely forward this post to our main contacts there.

Thanks again!

Rich

Folks, you do not need to deactivate, just delete the plugin and reinstall the previous version, available on this site.

I know you already have several reports that the newest version broken and causing some issues so I won’t reiterate that.

Hope a fix is released soon as Bad Behavior is too valuable of a plugin to be left deactivated for too long.

Thanks!
