Die Spammers Die

By Daniel Miessler on September 19th, 2005: Tagged as Spam

It’s pretty sad when you have to resort to these types of measures:

UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status="closed";

So no more pingbacks for me. Bastards.

  • Thanks for you comments, John. Very helpful.
  • Have been plagued by various types of Wordpress comment spam throughout the last lifetime of my blogs. Everytime I try something the spammers come back a while later with a new technique.

    Now been pretty much SPAM free for quite a few months. The following Wordpress modules made the difference for me, along with some tweaks on my website control panel:

    Spam Karma 2
    Bad Behaviour
    Mod-Rewrite Trackback Spam Blocker

    Hope that helps someone.


    Regards
