Blacklist

Posted by: Jennifer In: Bookmarks

If you're using MT-Blacklist, and would like to grab the blacklist from this site, here you go. (This site gets quite a bit of comment spam, so the list is pretty extensive!)

(FYI – this list is also now linked in the sidebar. Last "box" towards the bottom)

Dear scriptygoddess,

I am writing this comment here because what I am about to tell you also has to do with comment spam. Im wondering if there is a way I could "prove" that I am the real owner of the site when I comment. For example, everyone can say that they are me, put in my email, site and its done, but only I would know a certain code to put or anything like that. It would be really cool that have that, so everyone is absolutely sure the owner is actually posting a comment.

I have seen alot of really popular sites that have this problem, but still no solution. I guess all of you scriptygoddesses could figure this out.

Just a little comment, is all.

I'd like to point out that one of the entries in your blacklist.txt should be deleted or modified:

[ 0-9a-zA-Z ]+-[ 0-9a-zA-Z ]+-\ S* \..{ 2, }

This entry will cause a perfectly legitimate mail address like user+200402@spamprotect.example.com to fail.

This regexp alone caused two false positives in the last 25 comments of my blog – including a comment I had posted myself :-)

If someone has that has their email address, it seems to be fine.

Since I don't know regexp that well – the person who you should probably bring that to the attention of is Jay – the author of the script itself. I keep a pretty close eye on the logs on the site – and I haven't seen any notable "false positives".

I'm sorry to pipe in so late, but Arvre is incorrect (as Jennifer later tested).

The regex in question could also be written as:
([0-9a-zA-Z]+-){2,}\S*\..{2,}

Meaning it will stop URLs that contain more than one hypenation, such as:

foo-bar-fubar.nu
