Cannot get validated

    I just joined the Network, but I cannot get my site validated. It displays ads correctly, but auto validation won't work.
    I would like to display text banners, but they are too wide to be shown in the sidebar, so I am stuck with links only for now. I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the php (to use my site css for formatting).

    Please let me know how to get validated.

    That is caused by the badbehavior script:

    The script is an anti spam measure and keeps unknown robots away from my site.
    Thanks for the tip. I will see if I can get DP unblocked.
    I think that I won't be the only one using this script. Maybe you should work with the author to unblock your bot?
    Are you sending a user agent with your request?

    I unblocked the IP of your bot, however I would very much prefer it, if you could give it a user agent string that I can unblock.
    This way I would not need to keep track of your changing IP address. Also I think this would be cleaner and tell people what bot just visited their site.

    Let me know if you think adding a user agent would be usefull.
