Hi,
I’m just about to launch a members only community site and thought i should review the comment spam protection options. So… a couple of questions about blocking comment spam…
1. Is it advisable to add the list from http://www.theedesign.com to your code above?
2. In WP codex ref. http://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam/Denying_Access they have this code:
Can I add this as well as the above code? and as well as the BPS brute force login code (as it presumably only protects wp-login)? And if so where? – in the bottom custom code box with the comment spam code?
# Deny Access to No Referrer Requests
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourdomain.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
Many thanks.
