Hi,
Yes, it is true that Bad Behavior can stop some legit traffic - but very rarely. It is a compromise that needs to be made, for without it, the whole site goes down. I get about 2000 visits per day. I can't afford to have rubbish all over the place, so if a legit user is stopped every once in a while (it may happen once a month or so), it is the compromise I have to make. Without it, for me, Pligg is totally useless. Every blogger makes their own decisions, since the Wordpress Bad Behavior is a plugin. Most successful blogs, with high traffic, need to use Bad Behavior or an equivalent. It is unfortunate that the Pligg development team does not understand yet, that no Pligg site can be highly successful without top of the line spam protection. It is like building an expensive mansion without a lock on the front door.
I have a developer working on the problem right now. If it works, will share it with other users.
