    Hi there

    We have a massive Comment-SPAM-Problem on our site. How do we handle this, whats “best practice”?

    We are thinking about the pMachine.com-List, but were not quite shure if this List fits us. Here are some of the IPs that are spamming:

    178.239.58.144
    79.142.67.147
    115.160.178.253
    211.138.124.227

    Should we go for a try with the pMachine-List or are there any alternatives?

    thanks for any help on this

    Hi, joni. Have you turned on the Blacklist/Whitelist module? You can always add your own IP address to the module.

    Hi Sue

    Thx for your help. i solved the problem with the “low nospam”-addon combined with typepad ip list.

    i knew about the blacklist module and i used it, the problem was that we had about 2000 (no joke) different ips per day, which was fairly hard to handle^^

    so just for everybody with similar problems: low nospam rocks 😊

    thx and have a nice day
