Might want to check your facts first - the author has rejected without comment previous contributions to fix the incompatibility.

SourceBans++ would work fine with MariaDB if SourceBans++ didn't have a broken hard-coded check for specific MySQL versions (which is only there to work around other issues SourceBans++ has with the MySQL query optimiser due to highly inefficient SQL queries in SourceBans++).

SourceBans++ claims to support MySQL 5.0+, which includes all versions of MariaDB as a fork of MySQL 5.6 without any compatibility-breaking changes, so that statement is clearly incorrect.
