Referrer Spammers, again.
A great tutorial on anti-referrer-spamming can be found there: Blocking the Referrer Spammer (link via secondsymphony) but it is another one of thise mod_rewrite hacks that requires quite a bit of manual interference. Ⅰ would rather have a semi-automatioc blacklist that was updated by all participating users as well as moderated.
Another good review proposes the „future“:
# perl scripts.
This is the future, from what Ⅰ can tell. Someone is going to write a perl script to solve this problem of referrer spam, maybe. Ⅰ don’t know what a perl script is. Ⅰ don’t wanna know, really. Ⅰ do know that my setup lists a ton of them already active. So they obviously are commonly used on linux/unix servers.
Are there any approaches out there that combine anti-comment spam for blogs like MTBlacklist or others into a referrer-spam-removal system?
##Update
There is an excellent solution by Dave (unknowngenius.com), a php based solution – ready for anyone to use – but also enhanced by Dave’s SpamKarma for Wordpress.
