Well after the upgrade akismet had gotten ovre written, and along with it was the worse offenders version.   Well While I was looking at it to verify he was using the latest Akismet code in his version I noticed he had his htaccess one there… and so far he hadn’t any issues.  When I looked at it before i saw experimental and stayed away.  But I’m tired of spam… even if it isn’t as much as it used to be, because of Bad Behavior.  The htaccess version also includes the worse offenders, making it very easy to decide who to add to the list.
But what that means is if you spam too much from an IP, it’ll ban you from the site altogether.  And looking through the list of IPs it added and why, I didn’t see any problems with the bans.  But if you find yourself banned… email me, or comment here from an un-banned ip.
