Hi,

Do you have plans to check the IP of comment posters and prevent or unpublish the comments if the IP is known to be used by a spammer ?

I can work on this feature if it will be included ?

Version: 5.x-0.9 » 5.x-1.x-dev

Currently all requests will be checked with http:BL so it is not possible for a spammer to post comments. You might however want to add functionality to check only on comment pages instead of checking on every request.

Feel free to write a patch for this against 1.x-dev, and I'll consider including it.

I'd love to make checking each request optional Just in case it's a false positive or something, I want the people to browse but not post comments.

Cheers,

Attached a patch. The only problem is the option says "On comment, registration and contact forms" but it only implements comments.
