How do you only capture ips for automated queries? Do you mean you're really logging all ips then scrubbing them after a certain amount time?

- ChuckMcM 13y agoNot sure how they do it but in part we look for bogus search patterns across a wide variety of IPs. If 1,500 IP's search for (with quotes) "Enter your password or click the button to post anonymously" I'm gonna guess it is some SEO type who has a scripted search looking for forums where they can post link spam. There are a variety of things that in aggregate pop out as not being humans searching for things.
- jrussbowman 13y agoI'm just saying though, you have to record the ip in order to provide that functionality, especially for searches over time. So are they recording the ips then dumping them after x amount of time? That's different than what they claim.
