my fight against r****r spam (google this)
This entry is in the following categories:
My r3f3rer boxes have been so filled with spam that I'm just about to give them up completely.
I'm giving two approaches a try. First, I've replaced the text of the headings with images, so any bots searching for "r3c3n7 r3f3r3rs" or "t0p r3f3r3rs" won't find my pages.
Second I've made it very very easy for me to comb my logs for unwanted entries, one click removes all mention of them and prevents them from ever showing up again.
I'll see if the combination makes it manageable, otherwise away they go.
Update!!
I lost!!! I removed the referer box from my site. I also changed my comments to require my approval before going live. Tragedy of the commons and all that.
