Referrer Spam (3 posts)

    I am experiencing a major problem, bigger than I initially thought, regarding Referrer Spam. It seems I am getting dozens of these on several posts.

    I have recently installed the "Block-Spam-By-Math-Reloaded" plugin to add a simple math question before users can post comments. I would like to avoid moderating all comments before they are visible on the site, as my audience prefers to see their comments posted instantly.

    Do you have any other recommendations to reduce Referrer Spam? Would not allowing pingbacks or trackbacks on posts help to minimize this?

    Looking forward to some guidance. Thanks!

    Yes.

    Are you using akismet?
