    For those writing anti spam plugins (or any enterprising plugin author), I’d love to see one that will pick up the domain that refers a visitor to my site & blacklist the referral domain.

    The reason for this is that every so often I get a flurry of abusive comments referred to my site from various online forums. Since I can’t know in advance the domain of the visitor who posts an abusive comment, banning the visitor’s domain will only work after the fact. But once 1 person from a referred domain posts an abusive comment I can determine which online forum is referring. If I could ban the referral domain then I could stop all the copycat abusive comments that would follow the first one (& I get plenty in this manner).

  • richards1052 – you have finally made it to my ‘completely ignore no matter what’ list. That list has a membership of one. You.

    You have posted here dozens and dozens of times for help. You have had people going out of their way to help you.
    You have no doubt filled inboxes with your demands.
    You have whinged and whined and moaned constantly.

    You just said above, with regard to the answers you felt you were not given: “Wouldn’t it have been nice if this had been the answer posted here instead of the shower of negativity posted instead“.
    Right … read this _slowly_ for me…

    On 2005-7-3, Macmanx posted a link to this page:

    and guess what’s on that page ?

    Now – what EXACTLY did you not understand about the advice MacManx posted ? Do tell…

    And yet on your blog you have not mentioned any of this help – in fact you barely mentioned the issue AT ALL compared to the racket you were making here.
    But today you deride the entire forums. All of us.

    Now – why on earth should any of us help you AT ALL in the future ?
    I’m certainly not.
    .

    Exactly podz, sounds like you also took a look at his last blog entry where he claims to have been “dissed” and links to this thread.

    His profile lists more entries asking for help than 95% of the people here. And as you so pointedly show he HAS been given more than enough help and he either changes explict directions or fails to read the referencs given to him. Somehow after been unmasked by your links he won’t be answering anything more in this thread.

    Good riddence applys.

    I hate to even bring this silly thread back to the top but I feel it’s necessary to point out that some people like to be dramatic and controversal when they have no right to be. Whether the motivation lies in stirring up blog traffic or just playing martyr-who knows?

    Judging by Richards last post claiming he wasn’t given help here but was so graciously helped elsewhere, then comparing it to podz post which made it clear that he was helped with the EXACT same information, it would seem the motivation was a matter of laziness.

    We have a search feature, utilize it. When you are given a link, try clicking and reading. It’s obvious that wasn’t done in this situation. In that regards you were given all the help you needed to accomplish the same EXACT thing you accomplished elsewhere.

    I don’t find your blog controversal. I’ve seen worse. I personally think you are being needlessly aggressive to generate attention and when that attention paints YOU in a bad light (and not the martyr) you hope to control it. Maybe it’s just an act for your blog, but you mistakenly played that game here, only you can’t delete or control the comments you are given here in a response. Which explains all of the vitriol you have openly displayed here. In other words: much ado about nothing.

    Move on friend. You were given more help here than you needed, you just don’t want to admit it. I cannot even formulate how much help I have recieved here. Podz seems to live on this forum and is usually the first to reply to help requests. You haven’t been fair to those who have helped you here and you compounded the problem by trying to play the victim when you are clearly not.
