Top Spammers

Top Spammers is a Wordpress Plugin.

Top Spammers displays a list of your top spammers’ IP addresses, based on all comments in your database that are marked as spam. It also generates a blacklist for your .htaccess file to block those spammers from your website entirely, thus taking load off the server. You will need another plugin (like Akismet) to identify the spam.

Top Spammers is hosted on wordpress.org:

As with any plugin hosted on wordpress.org you can also get the plugin using subversion:

# the development version
svn co http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/top-spammers/trunk

# the latest stable version as of 2009-10-07
svn co http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/top-spammers/tags/0.4.1

    Hello!
    Will you code a PHP4 version?
    When I try to activate your plugin, it shows

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /var/www/kvartoplat/data/www/kvartoplat.ru/wp-content/plugins/top-spammers/top-spammers-wp.php on line 41

    So, how about PHP4 version?

    Hi Mike,

    the short answer to your question is:
    No!

    The longer answer is:
    http://www.gophp5.org

    And another answer to your question is:
    This plugin in its current release (0.4) is fairly simple and you should probably get it to work with PHP4 by just removing the word “static” from lines 41, 51, and 57 in top-spammers-wp.php. I have no means to verify that myself, so your feedback would be appreciated.
