I'm the one that originally requested this sort of addition to Oxwall because it has been the #1 software thing that saved my server from lagging and crashing on another, non-Oxwall site I have. I sat on the Oxwall store here for days and snagged this about 15 minutes after it was available for purchase. Does that tell you my faith in this helping my site stay afloat? Haha. You NEED this. NEED! Sincerely, this is THE best plugin, and if you don't buy ANYTHING ELSE from the Oxwall store, you NEED to front the money for this one. NEED! In the first 36 hours over 1,000 bots, most scrapers, were receiving 503 errors when trying to access my site! 2,000 were caught in the first 48. GREAT STUFF! I can go down the list and see the ban reasons. Known scraper. Known scraper. Known scraper. Known to be malicious. Scraper. Scraper. Scraper. WOW! Sped my site up INCREDIBLY. No more random lag spikes going on when loading a page. It did not accidentally ban the Google bot! YAY! It has a really nice internal set-up where I can manually black list and white list IPs. I can also check out what IP was blocked, how many times it was warned about going to be blocked, and WHY it was blocked (SO important). It worked for me right away, no problems. I tweaked one setting in the files because I noticed that my mailbox add on ended with a trailing / and was setting off an ajax block. Even with the ajax block turned off, the functionality of this plugin is worth it's weight in gold. It's worth $100 for quick, seamless integration. $30 is a steal of a deal.

I wanted to say that this plugin does exactly what it says on the tin. The features it has to stop damaging spambots and also now the updated version gives an option to anyone who has been blocked by mistake but this is very rare to rectify this. For the price, this plugin is worth at least three times as much as this so you are getting a bargain. Also gives you the ability to stop people posting links and for me this is essential as there is always someone who is trying to sell something on the site and this stops them in their tracks. And in addition it also offers to filter key words you put in so you can see who posting what pretty much and find the bad eggs among them. Aside from the great plugin, the senior developer who brought this plugin to us is so unbelievably helpful. I ran into some issues with my website coding when trying to re install the newer version of the plugin. With my permission he accessed my CPanel and also the website and sorted it and also gave the correct advice to speak to the hosting company and have something installed on the server. Since then the website and plugin are running like a dream. I highly recommend this plugin and at least you know that if you run into issues, this guy will step up and help you.

I bought this program an hour ago and installed it on my website. It began to stop bots and spammers on my site almost immediately. If it carries on doing this on my site I am going to be highly impressed and for this reason I give the program 5 stars. However, 12 hours later the 'bot killer' blocked over 1000 bots! I have never had a 1000 people trying to join my site even without he 'bot killer'? It is an excellent program but I wonder if the program attracts the bots?
