Turning off rules
In the past, turning off a rule was supposed to be as simple as setting
its score to zero. Is that no longer the case? I set a rule to zero,
and it's still showing up in my logs (but it looks like the value is
correctly being recorded as zero, so it's not affecting my scores; I'm
just concerned that it might be affecting performance, even if slightly).
What's the current proper way to disable a rule?
(the rule in question is BASE64_LENGTH_79_INF ; in my local.cf I gave it
a score of 0 but not 0.00)

Disabled code
-------------
To turn on tests disabled in 50_scores.cf, simply assign them a non-zero
score
Seems it didnt change.

What version of SA are you using? There was a bug, apparently fixed in
3.2.3, that had eval rules being executed regardless of their score.

Are you sure it's 0 and not 0.001 or something else small and non-zero?

There's no difference between those two things.

What happens when a zero score rule (not named __.*) is used in a
meta rule?

That wouldn't cause the score to actually be 0 though. The score is
correctly being set to 0, but the rule is still showing up in the list
of triggered rules.
