If your site is anything like mine, you will be flooded with spam posts from .ru (Russian) websites. Heres how to use .htaccess to block these submissions by disallowing them to register.

Open your .htaccess

add the contents of the attached download to it.

  Block .ru (47.4 KiB, 874 hits)

This will block registrations from Russia.

    Awesome idea! Do you know how we can prevent spammers from posting spam urls? There's a guy that posts hundreds of different stories all with the same url. How is this possible?

    Thanks

    You can ban his URL, just click “Admin Link” for one of his submission, then click “Change Status” in there is an option to ban the URL.

    Make sure you have Antispam enabled in the Config Panel.
