Description:

Compatibility
Version independent so will work on ALL versions of SMF!

Description
Very simple 'mod' to add some options to block bots, spammers, scrapers, and other scumbags easily via your .htaccess file.

(Please read the below warnings in the 'Notes' section)

This mod is fully compatible with my other .htaccess mods: Simple .htaccess Cache Mod and Simple .htaccess Proxy Blocker Mod

Have some suggestions to make this mod better? Please let me know in the support topic.

Notes
Requires: mod_rewrite to be installed and enabled for apache.

If you get any errors after installing this you didn't have mod_rewrite installed/enabled but you can simply uninstall this 'mod' by removing the following code from your .htaccess file in your web root folder

#Simple .htaccess Bot Blocker Mod
[code here]
#Simple .htaccess Bot Blocker Mod
Installation
Any previous versions of this mod MUST be uninstalled BEFORE installing this version.

Install the package on the SMF Default 'Curve' Theme ONLY. Other themes will need manual edits.
