Welcome, Michael!

Thank you for developing Bad Behavior. When I read about how it works, it seemed to me that it would frustrate spammers a great deal more than simply having their spam filtered. My hope is that in combination with Akismet it will make the spam problem largely invisible to me and, at the same time, disadvantage the folks generating the spam enough to perhaps convince them to back off.

One thing I’ve noticed in my logs is that it appears Feedster’s crawler (or at least something identifying itself as Feedster) is being blocked for incorrect use of the TE attribute. My next step should probably be to track down a Bad Behavior discussion/support forum so I can find out more about whether this is expected/wanted behavior.
