Wordpress comment blacklist needed

GM2015

Ok, so I don't get thousands of comments, but some of you guys with links are annoying.
Here's my list:

I'm not really interested in Chinese comments as you can see.
Got any?
Can wordpress block by ip ranges to comment?

Why not just use Akismet?

FlamesRunner

Sure!

It's easy, especially for you, for the way you word it.

Just block everything! You'll never have issues again, especially with these pesky spammers

<?php
$ipaddr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$blocked_ips = file_get_contents('blocklist.txt');
if (strpos($ipaddr,$blocked_ips) !== false) {
echo "Comments disabled.";
} else {
// WP comments code goes here
}
?>

Find where you need to put it, that's about it.

jar

Better method for preventing spam comments:

I use that because I do get thousands of spam comments without it.

You can send comments with links in them to moderated queue I think

Here is a script to block IP's from badips.com wordpress list: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=B4sD2BF8

You could also use @black's bad IP checker for checking IP for allowing them to comment! http://getipintel.net/

Do what @Jar and @Droidzone suggested.

Problem solved.

Thanks for the mention. Here's some tips if you plan on using it. I recommend you see what value ipintel returns on good & bad comments so you can choose the correct value to block on in your implementation. Be sure to implement error handling (HTTP 503 errors or if you get a negative values as result) and set timeout limit on the http request.

These are the most common mistakes I come across with users that query the system.

As long as your blog is not in Chinese, just block access from any Chinese ip and you'll get rid of a hole bunch of spam. I use the "SI Captcha Anti-Spam" plugin and it's working just great against spam which got easily manageable.

I've changed the htaccess mentioned above and man, my error saved my life. I blocked the referrer in iceweasel, posted a garbage and pressed post and here's what happened.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*mydomain.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://meatspin.com/$ [R=301,L]

I got a 404 error due to $ sign after the root domain and I was saved from a brainfuck.

I use wordpress "anti-spam" plugin for years, and it works like a charm to fight spammers. no captcha, no settings.
