I allowed the search engine bots to index my tags about one month ago. Now, when I've checked the pages indexed in Google I noticed that all the spammer tags were being indexed. I went to PhpMyAdmin and manually deleted the unwanted tags, but it's still not showing a 404 for these tags, so I've blocked the search engine bots from indexing them again as they could be duplicate content issue - lots of pages being indexed with no content just different titles and url's.

I caught the unwanted attention of a spammer from india and have been plugging in single IPs for weeks. Since my audience is America I'm using the big list for now. Maybe I'll trim it back once I get a handle on it. this is very helpful right now. I caught the unwanted attention of a spammer from india and have been plugging in single IPs for weeks.

Not true i give the option depending on the level of spam threat to block either single IP's or the whole country. "I would not recommend it." Each to his own. "Instead just write a function to delete the user" That does not stop future attacks and eve allows the user to re-register with his old details, please think suggestions through and at least understand the pligg system. "But whatever if you want to give up a huge percent of active visitors - that’s fine by me, more visitors for me!" Cool if you leave us the address of your pligg based site i am sure myself and lot's of others will be more than happy to redirect all the spam traffic originating from India to you to deal with. The goal of this article had you taken the time to read and understand it correctly is to give users options, we gave the option to ban a single IP, A Range of IP's or an entire Country, so you comments are basically contradicting the article as we do not advise you block the whole country but some might want too. Oh it's also worth noting the developers of pligg have also banned India due to the high level of spam, yes it's not fair to tar one country as the spam capital of the world but if the shoe fits ;) “That is insane, you’re blocking a huge active demographic.”
