Stupid referer spammers

I've noticed an increase of referal spammers lately and got sick and tired of them.
So, i've blocked the rats out.
Here's the code for the htaccess for those who want it, including the lines for blocking bad bots and siterippers:

Thank you. I'll try that code out. I've also been getting more spam lately and it seems to happen as soon as I put up an e-mail address on a page.

edit: Anyone have more referer spam sites to add?

 

Ah, thx.
I'll just update the second list for sites so the thread doesn't get cluttered with the same stuff all the time.

 

It's probably much better to look for key-words in the referrer string rather than specific sites. E.g. "poker", "shemale" etc.

The spamvertised sites will change all the time, but they'll all have the same keywords in the URL.

 

I'm seeing errors in my logs(404) frompeople trying to access my cpanel url.

Example Report:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Requested URL: /unprotected/images/top_02_2.gif
Referring URL: http://www.mydomain.com:2082/frontend/x/stats/
Requesting IP: 65.49.143.50
Request Method: GET
Requester Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12)
Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Requester Host: CPE00095b36c3b9-CM000a7363db08.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com
----------------------------------------------
I've tried and block specific requesters, but they a few attemps and then move onto another requester.

Should I use .htaccess to block the requested url, and when I need to get into cpanel comment out the line blocking me?

thx,

tom
