Spammers


I’ve received over 200 spam comments on this website over the past 3 days, and as a result I have started to add IP’s to my firewalls blacklist. So far ipfilter has the following

block in quick on xl0 from 168.143.113.126 to any
block in quick on xl0 from 168.143.113.128 to any
block in quick on xl0 from 168.143.113.124 to any

And then had to run

DELETE FROM `b2comments` WHERE `comment_ID` > 952;

to get rid of all the comments.

I’m sure more to come. Let me know if you have any IP’s you want me to block.

    I was getting the same thing from this same range of IP’s and I tried to block them out without any luck. I was able to fix the problem adding some code to b2comments.php and b2comments.post.php. I can email you the solution if you want. Just email me because I’m don’t really remember how I got here. I haven’t had any problems with Spam since I applied this hack.

    Yeah I’ve added code to b2comments and it stopped most of the spam by not allowing links. Weren’t you the one who told me about that?
