Ah yes, thanks for that tip!

How about denying them to post links below minimum post count?

Not sure what that means.

If you wish to block Latvia - an up and coming spam destination lol. Add this deny list to your htaccess file found in your root.

I didn't pay too much attention to IP origins, but there were some from romania.

Your list is quite long, is that all of latvia, or just known spam sites?

Also, are there reasonable sources for lists of IPs of known spam sites worldwide? I'm new at this.

thanks

I recommend turning on and using Akismet as well
