[COREblog-en] Trackback-Spam

[Frank Scholz]

Hi,

tonight I thought about a few additions to
make this comment and trackback fighting a bit easier.

1) integrate the remove script into COREBlog
   Add in the management interface for the comments
   and trackbacks an additional option to remove all
   occurrences with this title, blog_name, url,...
   Each checkable to in- or exclude in the selection.

2) in a next step add a "and block further comments/trackbacks"
   based on pattern matching, defaults from the current
   comment or trackback. Perhaps based on client IP or
   hostname too.

3) and, as the last thing still puts stress on the zope
   server, the option to call an external program and
   add dynamically a (temporary) (firewall) rule to
   block access from that IP on the TCP-level.
   I did this years ago with Check Point FW-1 based on
   incidents we got live from the weblogs or from the IDS,
   and afaik something like this should work for Linux
   based systems with iptables too.
   Or at least we could inject a Deny-rule into Apache.
