Just a quick question here. Have you ever heard any reports of Bad Behavior blocking statistics engines a blogger might use from polling their site. I wouldn’t think so but the thought did occur to me after i installed the plugin.

Just wondering.

Lorelle,

You, a fellow named “Otto 42″, and some others have managed to change my mind about using a “capthca” type of defense. I have switched it out with Karma 2. One thing that I was not aware of with Karma 2, was it’s ability to rule out definite “non-spams” and auto post them without moderation. There should be a lot more “hype” about that feature. I’m going to evaluate the new combination of anti-spam tools for awhile… Thanks!
