All correct but missing one major thing. Bigevil has it's regex tweaked like mad! Size does matter on a heavy traffic server. I urge you to look at both files. If you have a light traffic server stearns lists are GREAT! But it will crush high traffic. Bigevil started like Stearns' rules. It takes a little more work for me, but the results are VERY worth it. ANYONE who has second thoughts about using Bigevil, I suggest just downloading and running a script to change the score. You know what....... http://www.merchantsoverseas.com/wwwroot/gorilla/bigevil_lowscore.cf It is the latest with all scores set to .33 Otherwise the one scored at 3.0 is in the link in my sig.
