Splog Spammer Final Solution?

  • Hi,

    So Ive tried everything to stop spammers on my WPMU site… Every plugin, every tip, every hack… Nothing works!!!

    Finally, I got so tired of it I decided to block entire countries! Including Korea, China, Russia, India, Turkey and Vietnam. I found lists of their entire IP address blocks and put them in my htcaccess.
    You can get the lists here

    I only deny then access to the wp-signup.php using the following:

    <Files wp-signup.php>
    order allow,deny
    deny from
    All the IP blocks go here
    </files>

    It works! Not a single splog!!! I know you’ve probably heard this hundreds of times before… But this is the only thing that has worked for me. Over 100 splogs a day to zero!

    What I want to know, is there a way I can redirect them to a explanation of what happened? just in case they are a real person…

    Also is there any downside to this I dont know about?

    My htcaccess file is huge at 200KB is there any way to make it smaller or does it matter?…

    jeffqc – Because WordPress only knows what you teach it.

    ArigSor – I know you can with BuddyPress, which implies you can with WordPress via some sort of function tweak, but I don’t know it off the top of my head.
