In reply to: what permalink structure tags work best in google?I am not sure all URL’s work equally well in Google as far as page rank is concerned. I have seen strange google behavior on query string based url’s.

In reply to: If I edit Permalinks, it dies… =(I have identical setup on my Linux Apache server ( blog.taragana.com ) and my Windows 2000 Apache server. However I do not use htaccess to create permalinks. And that has served me well. No htaccess and no mod_rewrite for me 🙂

In reply to: New Plugin: Referrer Bouncer – A Plugin to bounce referrer spam@georgianlady I am not sure why having buy-2005 is not stopping your spam. The two possible reasons are that the script you use does an exact match or you made a typo.
In my case I got rid of the spams immediately after adding the phrase to the list. You can look at my current list http://blog.taragana.com/wp-content/referer.txt
Feel free to copy it for your use.
I don’t use HashCash or any other means other then those described above. I seem to be doing fine.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: If I edit Permalinks, it dies… =(This requires modifying .htaccess. Frankly it didn’t work for me. So I chose a simpler scheme for permalinks. Let me know if it works for you. You can look at my site to see an example of this type of permalinks.

In reply to: New Plugin: Referrer Bouncer – A Plugin to bounce referrer spam@macmanx It appears the problem with open proxies is happening to some people only. I will take a look at the code to see what could be causing this. Any ideas?

In reply to: New Plugin: Referrer Bouncer – A Plugin to bounce referrer spamI started having those buy-2005 ads too. Now I just added buy-2005 to my list. Last 24 hours I didn’t get any of their spam.

In reply to: New Plugin: Referrer Bouncer – A Plugin to bounce referrer spam@macmanx I am not comfortable with SpamKarma. It has some dubious logic. For example when I tried posting to a WordPress Site (after following a trackback entry from my site), which had SpamKarma installed, it wouldn’t allow me to post! On looking at the reasons I found that because I followed from a link (referrer) which had dashes (as generated by the post slug of my wordpress blog) it thinks I am a spammer! So I directly tried to load the page in another browser and tried posting a comment. It wouldn’t allow me to do so because it thinks no real person directly comes to a post or can never bookmark a post and later comment on it! Additionally the comment contained a link which also had dashes. So spam karma trigerred happily. Finally the moderator/author had to let me in!
I do not want to use anything which throws nasty messages at valid commenters to the site. I respect the people (non-spammers) who tries to comment in my site.
As for the option to blacklist comments from open and insecure proxies I have tested it in two blogs of mine with identical results. It marks any comments as spam and silently removes them. It doesn’t even allow me to comment on my blog while logged in!
Are you guys using the release version of Strayhorn aka WP 1.5?
I am pretty positive about the problem as I have rigorously tested to prove it beyond any doubt. In fact I got confirmation from others too in this forum. Search for blacklist.
I would definitely advise anyone not to mess with that option in Strayhorn release version.
