 * Why you don’t implement white list directly in the admin panel ? If i automatic
   update bad behavior, the edited white list is overwritten ? Thanks

 * Bad Behavior runs on a variety of different platforms, not just WordPress, and
   there is no standard way to provide an interface to Bad Behavior’s settings across
   these different platforms. Storing them in a file is the only current solution
   that is sure to work.
 * Your concern about the whitelist being overwritten is legitimate, though. This
   should not happen, and it will be addressed in a future release of Bad Behavior.

 * Thanks. Do you think is it necessary install a comment spam plugin with Bad Behavior
   installed ?

 * Yes. You should always run another spam prevention plugin with Bad Behavior. 
   See [http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/documentation/spam-prevention-strategy/](http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/documentation/spam-prevention-strategy/)
   for further discussion.

 * Any news on the overwriting of the whitelist?
    Has it been addressed in present
   version of Bad Behavior? If not, do you have an ETA?
