Look in places we stay there's more spam in there also. They basicly have taken over my guest book |

Are you referring to Rich at Int'l Bus & Parts or the cartridge toner guys?

If you'd like, I have a script that I wrote for my site, that purges messages from the database based on a keywords list. It watches for those keywords, and blacklists IP's if they show up for those keywords. It's written for PHPNuke's comments areas, so it would need to be modified for Discus. Once blocked, they get inserted into the .htaccess, so they can no longer access the site.
PHPNuke keeps everything in the database, which is helpful. Discus keeps part of it in flat files, and part in the database, which is harder to work with, but isn't impossible.
The spammers get really bad as a popular gets more popular, at least as search engines are concerned. They're taking advantage of the fact that they can get messages posted, to run their own popularity up with the search engines. More links to a page make it appear more popular.
I reset my IP blocks two days ago. Since then, I've had 1,497 IP's get automatically blocked. I have 674 keywords, phrases, and domain names in my blacklist.
I'd be more than happy to give you the script, the blacklist text, and help adapting it to this site. The IP's are better generated by the script, catching the abusers that are actually abusing your site, rather than using mine. |

Rich at Int'l Bus & Parts says if you bought it from him,
you'd still have it.
