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
