phBadBehave¶

versions
Currently there are two phBadBehave versions out:¶

• active phBadBehave (called phBadBehave3) for phpBB version 3.0.x based upon Bad Behavior 2.0.x
  the documentation for it can be found at pbb3 overview

• legacy phBadBehave for phpBB version 2.0.x
  Please note that the version phbadbehave-91BETA.zip is the older one based upon Bad Behavior 1, while phbadbehave-52BETA.zip is based upon Bad Behavior 2.0.12. None of them are any longer supported as phpBB 2 is no longer supported. If you want or have to use it feel free to but keep in mind that you'll get no support for it.

principle of operation¶

Bad Behavior blocks most of the link SPAM without looking at a given request, gaining an performance advantage over spam blocker like Akismet or word blacklists. Instead Bad Behavior concentrates on the SPAMMER itself like his HTTP-Request and IP address and blocks it based upon these results.
