I am getting continuous spam like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
discussion 85.25.146.11 web 11:02:19 05/17/13 2rand[0,1,1]
|
||
|
discussion 85.25.146.11 web 11:02:13 05/17/13 2rand[0,1,1]
|
||
|
|
||
|
The bot uses an IP address as the username and puts '2rand[0,1,1]' as comment text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I do not have a page 'discussion' in use, so I have redirected this page with an apache2
|
||
|
Alias to a static page, just in case anyone stumbles on it. This means it cannot really
|
||
|
be edited via the web. However the bots that post
|
||
|
this spam are evidently not opening the page to edit it, but merely sending a cgi request
|
||
|
as if they had edited the page. The result is that no damage is done on the site and no
|
||
|
benefit is achieved for the spammer since google cannot see the result. However, the
|
||
|
logs are stuffed with spurious entries and a page is constantly recompiled, which wastes
|
||
|
resources.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Is there some way to reject edits that do not arise from an established session?
