FAQ
Below you can find a list of answered questions which you may find useful. If you have a question which isn't answered here, please don't hesitate to contact me.

1. What is the threat level/score and what does the number represent?
   

The threat score is calculated based on the activities of that user on previous sites (such as spamming, harvesting and phishing).

 Project HoneyPot provides these ranges to help bring the threat score into perspective:

• Threat Score 25 (or above): Equivalent to 100 Spam messages.
  
  
• Threat Score 50 (or above): Equivalent to 10,000 Spam messages.
  
  
• Threat Score 75 (or above): Equivalent to 1,000,000 Spam messages.
  

Users that are flagged as 'suspicious' with a low threat score are usually robots and don't cause any harm. Therefore, on Project HonetPot's website, they recommend you experiment with the threat level to find a range which fits your website best.

You can find more information about the threat scoring on Project HoneyPots website.
