Default Re: [PATCH] Blocking those pesky hackers

Hi Scotty, a note, be careful blocking other statuses with the stop list. I created status H so that I could be certain only obvious hackers were totally banned from the site. If you use status M (which I believe stands for manual, correct?) that could pose some issues (not saying it *would*, just haven't looked into any ramifications, so just a word of warning is all)

Regarding checking for http by itself, that means if http is found anywhere in the string, they get banned, and it's probably easier to have http in the middle of a string, than http://. To be certain, I would check to ensure the first 4 letters appear as http


You mentioned, having an SEO mod used against you, howso?


Add an elseif for a different label? Can you describe that better?
