Comment Spam blocking

Found the following from Dvorak Uncensored:

Most people who run blogs have issues with comment spam in their blogs and there are all sorts of fixes. Marc Perkel at ctyme.com – my host — was floored, he said, when he realized a simple command to the Apache software would kill most of it — and it does indeed work!

Here is the short code running on the ctyme server for my dvorak.org using WordPress-based blogging software. Altering it for other blog software and other blogs should be simple for anyone running Apache.

<location /blog/wp-comments-newpost.php>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^.*dvorak.org/.*
    RewriteRule ^.* http://www.ctyme.com/comment-spam.html
</location>

Essentially it makes the basic condition for any post rigid: it has to be coming from a link within the blog itself, the “comment” link. Most spam does not.

My spam count on the blog has dropped from 50-100 to 2 per day without any other tricks.

Hello. And Bye.

Just thought I should post a note introducing myself. I write for the new United States Congress site.

Very interested in peoples thoughts on the site.

i love grackles i think they look so smart and posh when on a horse specaily at a show i really want to put one on my horse! but i dont think she really needs one one of my mate rode her and said i should think about using a grackle but i werent sure would it give me anymore control when she goes crazy when jumping? and sometimes she ingores me and just goes so would it give me more control when this happens? Or would it be a waste of money to put her in one? Also if she did have a grackle would she have to be in a light bit?? and can i use a running martingale with a grackle? Thanks i will pick a best anwser :) Ps. i know how to ride a horse with a grackle iv done it alot of times x

Hey. New here and figured I should post and say hi.

I believe I allready have been told about this subject
at work yesterday by a friend, but at that time
it didn't caugh my attention.

To be a noble human being is to have a philanthropic of openness to the mankind, an ability to guardianship undeterminable things beyond your own pilot, that can front you to be shattered in unequivocally extreme circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly outstanding with the prerequisite of the principled passion: that it is based on a conviction in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a shop than like a prize, something somewhat fragile, but whose extremely precise attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.
