Hallo, Michael,
Du (michael.daly) meintest am 29.09.08:
I see you've been putting all the offending
IPs into the blocked IP
list. That has limited value since the IPs of spammers change so
often.
I use the CIDR notation - that's enough for x.y.z.w/16 nets.
You could try installing a Captcha extension. If
the spammer is a
bot, they tend to be stopped by that.
Captcha is evil. It blocks the good guys very well, and it blocks the
bad guys poorly (is that english? please excuse my gerlish)
Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
Interesting approach: "As captcha blocks the good guys, it's better to
block the subnet"
Still, it could be merged as "evensofterblocks", where the user can
edit, but needs to fill a captcha which it usually doesn.t
