Ditto. How do I disable this feature? I feel it's my choice as webmaster how often I allow users to click.

edit: I commented out the call to Security::_flood() in the check function of security.php, seems to have done the trick, but it'd be nice to have an Admin panel option to turn off flood protection.

Did your look in Admin > Security?

LOL, what an idiot ! Thanks !!!

I've just turned mine off also, I had 1 user email me asking "what the hell why have you banned me?" but what was more of a worry were the 15 people that didn't email me.. I hope they come back..
Great feature, I think it may just need a little tweaking?
Cheers

This may have been mentioned already but if you change to the default theme you will be able to delete the banned addresses with out having to hit the database. Something is missing in most custom themes and the ability to select ips to delete gets lost.

What may be missing from custom themes is templates, though correctly designed themes should pick up the default module/admin templates (block templates are a different can or worms).

Howdy all,

I have users that are banned as well... I can not see how to remove them from within the database I have checked for the IP's and I do not see anything that looks like thier IP's within the database..

Also I have gone to Flooding details and I do not see any where to unban the IP's from within there as well.. I have upgraded to the latest version of Dragonfly as well...

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Are the templates uploaded to themes/[yourtheme]/template/admin/security/?

The IP addresses are expressed in the database as decimal not dotted decimal, so they won't be easy to recognize unless you translate the one you are looking for. Sorting the records by ban_time or ban_details might help locate the record you're looking for.

Wow...I just upgraded to 9.1.2.1 and am having this problem with two of my family members accounts. Now I just was looking into it ..and for some reason, when the error first pops up - it says warning, so you click the link for the back button and it is this that it causing you to get the second warning. Then if you click the "go home" or "back" links then you will get a final warning.

I was able to remove the banned IPs by accessing the mysql database - but would be nice if I could get it to work in the admin menu without getting this error.

Now I am having problems in that I cannot change my theme back or in fact do any changes in settings without getting the "You tried to access this page through a bad link.."
Security Error

Definately needs some fine tuning, i've managed to get myself banned several times on a test site wether i'm logged in or not.

Its an inconvenience to have to unban myself from my own site.... all the same the idea is a very good one.

I don't blame people for turning it off, its causing more problems then its solving right now.

Definitely have to be careful. I got a warning here and oddly - I got "banned IP" on a site that I hadn't even been on in a year! And I only clicked once (dragonflied).

In my site the security system works so fine.
It could fine the pssibility to ADD new Good Bots

Back/Forward can trigger it.
This can happen to me without perfecting.

Report them to us and we will make them available at DragonflyCMS installation level.

I'm going to have a big list of user-agents. (It's banning Blackberries and things like this when it's on.)

(This should probably go in Requests and Ideas but) what about a small log in the security admin panel.

This | banned for bad ip | option to remove ban | option to whitelist
Blackberry | banned for bad user-agent | option to remove ban | option to whitelist
Some IP | banned for flooding | option to remove ban | option to whitelist

Something like that.
