The mysterious comments loop phenomenon seems to have struck again – on Kim’s post immediately below this one. Please bear with us as we try to fix it so that you can comment there if you wish.
Update (by Rob): I’ve fixed the problem — unfortunately, it was caused by the referrer spam bouncer plugin. I’ll try to find a new one, but until then Mark will have to sift through the viagra and incest spam when drafting his next “humorous google search terms” post…
Rob, You can stop referer spam through apache. In the httpd.conf (or .htaccess) file, under add;
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer “.*(badword|nextbadword|etc).*” spam
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from env=spam
Bit got chewed. Under <Directory />
Cam: I’ll have a look when I get time. Thanks.
Rob, No worries. Email me if you want me to cut and paste what I have in my apache conf files.
man, it eats my helpful link-laden posts about linux and tux the penguin, but lets in the crap from mynicemailscat.com … just saying!
Not any more, it doesn’t. Well, off to watch Latho…
