Read the docs and you'll find out. It is literally explained directly on the homepage of the service: https://www.usercheck.com/. Should not be too hard and recommended anyway if you are interested in an add on that deals with user data. "Work email" is anything that is neither a free mailer...

Fully agreed that the bot identification built into XF leaves a lot to be desired to say it politely. As far as I understand it is solely based on the submitted user agent plus if this user agent is marked as bot in the database. So it dates back to way friendlier and more honest times a couple...

I am wondering how you do that, given that at the moment most of the bot traffic comes from resident proxies and until now no solution on the market is able to identify them reliably and to full extend (inc. massive corps like Couldflare taht do this for a living)? Could explain this?

I would not buy that. The IPs belong to AS209372 (WS Telecom) which is well known for all kinds of malicious activity coming from there. An ASN well worth blocking - you won't miss anything but have less trouble. Their Website looks legit on first sight and creates the impression of an American...

@Martyn : This topic has been dicussed back and forth over the last month in countless threads. These are bots that use resident proxies to scrape your content for training of AI models. Robots.txt won't help at all and neither will Cloudflare for the most part. The issue is not easy to deal...

At this ratio it is a pretty safe assumption that 90% of your guests are in fact scraping bots. The vast majority of the current scraping bots that come via resident proxies won't show up in GA as they do not serve the GA snippet. True on the one hand, on the other currently you can basically...

Not too astonishing, given your very impressive visitor frequency of ~200k/day, judging from the screenshots you posted in this thread. "Luckily" I am rather at 1% of that with my forums, so until now no issues. :)

@Xon: There seems to be a bug in 1.20.1: When iCloud relay is used, the IP Score is now set to 0 in the view but still counted towards the total:

My bad - seems to have been a misunderstanding on my side due to the "," ":" and "." in the log entries plus the occasional line break. When looking at the entry in the modqueue this seems indeed to be the Get IP Intel score that you fixed for iCloud Relay with the lastest 1.20.1 update. This is...

@Xon The new iCloud-setting has already proven tobe very useful, so thanks for that! One thing that I am wondering about: There seems to ba scoring when someone takes too long to fill out the registration for and this reults in high scorin most of the time. However: I could not find a setting...

@Osman : Another somewhat strange happening: I had my first rate-limit block today: Possibly it did fit the criteria, so that's not the problem. The user was freshly registered and did explore the forum heavily, upon other things fast browsing through Media Gallery albums with loads of...

List of emojis along with their codes can be found here btw.: https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html

@QuackieMackie beat me to it :D

That's pretty easy to achieve - you can add it yourself. Go to /admin.php?reactions/ and add ne that you like. Quick and dirty: Outcome:

Checked the logs, I see the event of me enabling h3 and h4 yesterday and h1 and h2 the day before yesterday. There is however no log entry for enabling h3 and h4 despite I definitively did that, so it seems these were not recognized, whyever. Maybe I rushed to another page of the ACP too fast...
