Just picked up 74.86.176.75 in my site error logs trying to get pages that no longer exist - there are comment submission forms in this area (recently renamed).

Thanks to this… now IP denied!

Thanks

74.86.176.75 and 74.86.171.82 just wandered through parts of my site and claimed at various times to be the following:

That’s quite a selection and obviously from an outfit trying to avoid detection. Both IP addresses are now blocked in my firewall.

Looks like adsoft are trying to pretend to be the googlebot.

The website 74.86.176.75 owned by Spamsoft was today banned automatically by my servers for flooding. So be aware of this outfit of spammers.

Should I expect to see my response posted?

Another thing you can try is to change the name of the script that runs your guestbook. Many spammers search for specific guestbook scripts so if yours doesn’t use the standard name it will be a bit harder to find. That would help, but moderation is really your only choice for completely protecting the kids.

Thank you very much. The latest garbage this morning tracks back to a Konstantin Chibrikov 63.246.146.60.

There’s nothing you can do to stop them from trying to post their junk in your guestbook. The only responsible action you can take, is to move to a pre-moderated guestbook. While you’re at it, archive the stuff from the old guestbook (the clean stuff), disable the scripts, then point to the new guestbook which is moderated.

I have had a problem with this lately - someone posting links to porn and other web riff raff at my son’s Pop Warner football guestbook for 7,8, and 9 year olds. I did some coding to try to stop it and now I see an interest in just this page only from a site tracking back to Mr. Andrew Kartashov. Guys… this is a site for kids… please give me a break.
