I guess I can delete BB from FTP, but I want to try first to disable it. But I don;t know what to do...

For the Blackhole project, one thing I'd urge is some granularity in reporting. If a host is blackholed for spamming blogs it should report as such, same with wikis, etc., maybe by returning a specific IPs made up of a bitmask with the bit set for each type of Bad Behavior install that reported the offending host. The reason I suggest this is because trojaned hosts which are spamming blogs may well not be spamming wikis, and so we may not want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and block somebody who's been trojaned and is spamming some other medium than the one the human using the compromised machine is trying to post on. Yes, it's extra work, but coming from the wiki world, I'm really loathe to lose good edits from compromised machines.

Would you consider making an option in the admin panel in the next version to turn blacklisting off entirely? I’ve removed dbsl from the list and had to remove spamhaus this morning as well.

I was setting up a WP website for a friend, and when i was chosing WP options after the initial setup i was blocked (just afte turning BB on). BB said i was behind an open proxy - which may be true or half-true. What i am behind is an ISP router (i suppose). Anyway, i was blocked ONLY when i tried to save some WP option, and NOT when i was seeing the website, WP admin pages, or for that matter my own WP website where i run the same BB version (2.0.6). So, somehting must be wrong: either it should block me all the time, or never, right? And by the way, it seems a bad idea to have blacklisting. I am behind something, but that something is the ISP's responsibility, i ahve no control over how it is run/configured. I think i spotted a bug.

It happened with all the two dynamic ip's I tryed today. BB says that both ip's were used in 2005 to send spam. I think this database is a very bad idea for dynamic ip's. Is there a way to disable this ip blackisting without deleting the whole bb directory in my server? I don’t know if it’s becouse of this, but since today I cant log in to my admin.
