Community Ban Database Query

[the8055]

Hello Rob, I have another question regarding the plugin. Are the visits being community-banned solely based on data gathered from websites using this plugin with the community pool option enabled? Or does it also utilize an external database for this purpose?

Regards

Hi @the8055

The Community Pool is a self-contained co-op!

The raw data is supplied by the participating sites themselves, not independent “bad bot” lists or anything like that.

The Pool then boils down the aggregate into a digestible list of the widest and worst offenders, and returns it to the same participating sites so they can preemptively block those networks.
