How can I access that page? Also, in the error message in .htaccess you refer "spammers" to http://ten-fingers-and-a-brain.com/top-spammers.html for more information, but the page is under construction????

My .htaccess has been modified by your plugin, but it doesn't insert the deny from ip rule. I have akismet installed spam content with unique ip. What can I do?

Just today I changed the code of my local dev version to block just the php file used for posting comments, not the entire blog. That way somebody whose computer has been hijacked by a botnet and ended up on the blacklist can still read the blog. Log analysis has shown that almost all bots access only that one file anyway so this doesn't even mean any extra traffic. -- This is the state I wanted to have this in before I insert anything into .htaccess by default. That feature is really up next. Oh, and thanks for voting by the way. Thanks, Jake.

I just wanted to see if at any point you will be making this automatically insert the code into the .htaccess. (I saw the "for now" note in the plugin) Keep up the great work, this is an instant favorite. I also voted it up on Wordpress. This is really a great plugin.

The longer answer is: <a href="http://www.gophp5.org/" rel="nofollow">www.gophp5.org</a> 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 <code>top-spammers-wp.php</code>. I have no means to verify that myself, so your feedback would be appreciated. Hi Mike,

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? Hello!
