Block The Persistent Troll From Making Comments on Blog
Recently there was a commenter on the blog that kept leaving a link out to a bad neighborhood. The person would take the time to make a nice decent comment and all. But the link they were dropping was not acceptable by my standards. I do not link out to sketchy web sites from this site! It is just bad mojo and not good for PR, if you catch my drift? On the first blog comment this troll placed, I edited the comment and kindly left a little note in the comment window that said, “Note: Thank you for the nice comment although, I removed your signature link from the comment! It was unacceptable. “
So I went on about my business. Well a day or two later as I was checking comments. I noticed another comment that linked to this same sketchy website. Although this time the anchor text was different. After I noticed this and having remembered leaving the note in the comment, I just deleted the comment this time and went on about my business. Well a day later the blog comment that linked to the same site was there in the blog again.
I decided right then and there that I was going to put up a fence (take some extra measures) to block this troll from making any more comments on the blog. The troll was determined to try and get a link to a certain site from mine! I knew there is way to do this block by using the .htaccess file and adding in a “order allow,deny” statement with an IP address or site domain name. However I than wondered if there were perhaps an easier way to do this? Or thought there should be a way to do this right inside the wordpress admin panel.. Or maybe there is a nice plugin to do this?
Sure Enough! I needed not look any further than right inside the “Discussion” panel area in wordpress. This feature
was built right in. The wordpress gurus had this same issue long before me and accommodated their great software with easy measures to rectify the culprit. Right inside the Discussion link from the sidebar there is the Comment Blacklist section and field and using this feature one can block a human from visiting the site. This automatically places the comment in the spam filter. If you have Akismet activated like I do! The comment will never be seen again.
What is nice about this too is how many ways a human can be blocked using this feature. We can enter a word, name, email address, IP or domain name URL in this tool to block any incoming visits that match any parts of the entered critera. This is great because many pesky spammers will naturally use proxy sites to change their IP address.. And these spam heads also sign up and use hundreds of different emails to do their link dropping. Yet many times they only have one or two site URLs that they are trying to plant links to. Here is an example below of how to make the entries on separate lines.
Using the Comment Blacklist those one or two URLs can be easily blocked no matter how many IP or email handles they use. I am happy to report, I never saw that sketchy site link on my blog again.
Important: Be really careful with what words you enter in to be blocked. Because the words used will also be blocked in longer words.. For example, if entered “free” than any comments containing the word “freedom” would be blocked. So you will want to use mostly only unique or full strings for names to block. The words in my example above are just for illustrative purpose. Those are not the words or address I really have entered in my Blacklister. Just be careful what words you enter and put some thought in to the entries. We do not want to block any good comments.

Akismet truly is a life saver if you’re looking to post a blog and accept comments. I think comments are important but with all of the web spam, it can truly be tough to moderate a dofollow type blog. Theres tons of savvy webmasters automatically spamming blogs everywhere and making the comments look almost legit.

Were they linking to a Last Measure site or something?
Oh and consider yourself luck if a simple IP ban stops them. Most people aren’t stupid enough to fall for that. If you did a range ban instead of an exact IP ban (which likely will never work), then you lose readers by the way.

They were linking to a peer-to-peer network, i.e. pirated software site. Which is not good for keeping a high standing with Google. And yes as mentioned in my post, I was wanting a way to block a site with out blocking any other IP or range of IP’s.. In this case, I was able to block the site by entering in a site name without blocking any other URL’s or IP’s.

What about just adding a captcha code to commenting. That would undoubtedly cut down on automated replies and spam.
Reply
Ryder reply on March 16th, 2009 5:12 pm:
Well the issue was mostly with a live human commenter, which would have still got past a captcha.. My Akismet catches and deals with most all of the auto junk on its own. I just needed a way to screen out particular URLs or culprits without hindering the good commenter’s.

I was wondering how to block comments with adult links from one of my wordpress blogs. Thanks, this is build in , no need of any extra plugin to install. That’s great.
Reply
Well I for one thank you for any link love you do provide. Obviously, links to questionable content aren’t a great idea but for just about anything else, there’s a give and take that’s readily evident.
The obvious benefit is that you provide some backlink love to the commentor who stops by quality net design.
The not so obvious benefit is that by commenting here, particularly if there happens to be some keyword relevant text in the comment such as something surrounding network design or web design (like how I slipped that in there?) then your site actually grows in content and “value.”
In any event, I agree. Kill the bad links, keep the good ones, particularly when the commentor returns the love a bit by writing on topic content about wordpress or templates or any other keywords you are targetting (oops, i did it again!).

I have this same problem with my blog about 5 times a week, if not every day. I have been deleting manually and it takes up so much of my time. But I keep doing it because like you, I care greatly about the integrity of my comments section. I just read your article and became familiar with the commenter blacklist feature on my blog. This is the best thing that could happen to my blog. I get targeted by spammers constantly and now I have some sort of defense against repeat offenders. Thank you so much for the informative article, keep up the great blogging.

Thanks for the nice comment and it is nice to see there are people out there such as yourself that realize the metrics or added measures that one must take to keep comments enabled and still not get filled up with just junk spam. Yes you are right, I was real close at one point to disabling comments all together.
Instead I spent time doing some hacks and adding some good plugins so that I could keep them open for people like you. I agree, it is comments that make blogging fun for most of us. I appreciate your nice comments and words. Also that is a nice looking shop you have keep up the good work.

Blocking works but I think if you’d delete all his comments repeatedly and every time sent him an email asying that you won’t accept it he’d probably give up sooner or later. I mean he probably did it to promote the site not for the fun of it so if there were no results he’d have to stop.

wow, I have been using wordpress for more than 2 years now and have written a couple of plug-ins for almost all versions but I ‘never’ noticed the blacklist thing. I usually just mark comment as spam and rely on Akismet to do the job.
I wouldn’t want to block words but can definitely utilize the URL and IP blocking feature
Thanks again.

I get these same trolls every once in a while. It’s a little different for me though, it’s their comments. They say nice things and all but it’s not on topic or very acceptable/respectful to others. It’s nearly impossible to insult me, but the things they wrote could easily insult other people. I let them know and they kept doing it.
I also have somebody who keeps posting the SAME thing every time on a bunch of my blog posts. He says “Hello please write back to me” and he doesn’t even have a link in his name. How strange, huh?
I guess there’s just some weirdos out there that you’ll never be able to get rid of!

Yep I had a little problem with that too for a while. Was getting real short comments with one or two words all the time. Started calling them, “Drive By Comments” after I read more about how to deal with that issue. As it turned out, I found a real nice solution for that little issue too.. I will probably be making a full post about it soon.

my site is hit by persistent pingback comments from splogs. i’m on the fence about deleting them because yes i’m giving them link juice but it’s going to posts that link right back to me and it ensures that google is getting to their site. i’m not sure if google considers splogs to be ‘bad neighborhoods’ or not.
Any thoughts Ryder?
Reply
Ryder reply on May 5th, 2009 6:58 am:
Hi, Well my first thought is that it kind of depends on each site in question linking to.. If the sites in question provide some kind of quality and wholesome content to the user than they are good for linking and get linked back. If the splogs are just total junk and filled with nothing but links and spam affiliate banners? The links are not worth as much that way and might be better finding better links.
My next thought is that, I do not use trackback comments on my site here. I have that code commented out in my template. Mostly just because I do not like the looks of the trackback comments on a blog.. They just make comment area look clogged up and take away from real persons comments.
I do however see lots of prominent bloggers do use them and they do probably help some if the linking is with good sites. But I do not like the looks of them and never have, so I choose to not use them.
I can just look in Awstats and see when google has picked up and recorded any in bound links to me. When I leave comments and or do link building that is how I tell when a link is passing flow.

Nice job dealing with him. Gotta love akismet!

We have to stay good with those bad Commenters.
Sometimes they post links that aren’t really acceptable for us all we can do is just remove the link and thank them for the post.

This makes sense I suppose. Although legally the site cannot be held responsible by content on the external site, they can theoretically be blamed for allowing the link in the first place.
It’s similar to P2P networking, the uploaders will be treated more harshly as the network wouldn’t exist without them.

What is worse?
1. Commenting without reading the article, just to get a back link.
2. Commenting on the article with useful insight, but leaving an undesirable link.
Quality bloggers and inbound marketers should always have something unique and interesting to say, rather than taking the easy way out with “nice post!”

Yea they might post here again but they will not be able to leave the link out to the same website that I did not like! Because that website name and URL is now entered in the blacklist, it will throw his comment out into spam box land if they try to drop the same link.

I know where you’re coming from. DO FOLLOW blogs operate on a WIN WIN assumption–you win by getting free content, the commenter wins by contributing original comments. The whole arrangement becomes a LOSE WIN when commenters start blasting your blog with pharma, adult, malware, or other links that many mainstream blogs find objectionable. As Stephen Covey said in “7 Habits of Highly Successful People”–think Win win… if you focus on lose win, it will eventually lead to LOSE LOSE for everyone. The blog becomes NO FOLLOW, the commenters lose out. Unfortunately, spammers don’t get this. They don’t realize that their actions eventually will lead to their own promotions jobs getting harder and harder–not just for them but for everyone else. Lose Lose indeed.
Stay positive and don’t let the spammers/mass posters get you down!

wow, great post and very useful. Usually U just use akismet, and that’s it. Never go further into setting > discussion and input filter into it.

I’ve never seen anyone else mention this feature about Wordpress. It should be part of the Wordpress information when they mention Akismet. I have some blogs that have appeared on some spammers target lists.

I just started my own blog and I have yet to run into your issue, but I did get a lot of spam when i ran a forum….something I will never do again!
I do not use wordpress, but I am sure I can figure out how to stop trolls from using my blog.
Thanks for the info.

Spammers should be banned…… All they want is to have quality backlinks just by sending automated comments. That’s why word verification is important.:shock:

As a new blogger, I don’t understand why so many people are trying to “do harm” to others online. Why not just promote your website in an appropriate way? Some say that all people view the world in one of two way: people are mostly good, or people are mostly bad. I like to think that people are mostly good.

I agree with Myra. Search engine optimization is difficult enough as it is, especially backlinking! It’s frustrating to know that spammers are ruining it for the rest of us…. But then, in this backlink-obsessed world, who counts as a spammer and who doesn’t?

Have you considered using nofollow links instead to cut down on the types of comments you get? That may help deter people from just posting to get a link in.

comments spamming is one of the big headaches to the Blog owners. Spammers abuse their electronic messaging system; post messages on blog, forum or guest book, or send spam emails to get free advertisement. This issue becomes more serious when they use automated spam program or robot for spamming. So in all modern scripts available today have inbuilt spam-blocker system.well nice information.

But how do you decide the linked site is “good” or “bad”? Just the page rank?
I recently saw a comment on another blog which had disgusting anchor text and I didn’t even want to check the website.
But it was on a google groups page so a quick email to google and it was removed

I somehow thoughht this post would be about leaving horrible comments.
I Don’t have many rules on my blogs when it ocms to commenting but I do like to check over all links to make sure they are not leading anywhere ‘dodgy’ before I publish the comment.
At the moment I don’t get that many comments so that isn’t a drain on my time but I shall remember this when I become a popular blogger.

Unfortunately there is no effective way of doing this. They are all easily worked around. Captcha and comment moderation, and maybe restricting comments to registered users, is about all you can do. Some people say using the Disqus comments system helps. But at the end of the day, comment moderation is the failsafe.

I also have a blog and i notice that someone doesn’t stop to create weird comment like “khfioehu” with a anchor text to their website, i didn’t even check their website and directly delete all comments like that.
