Description
This plugin allows you to selectively disable comments for visitors from certain sites (e.g. reddit). If a visitor’s HTTP referer matches one of the hosts you’ve blacklisted, your post will look as if comments have been disabled (neither existing comments nor the new comment form will be shown).
