I’m getting really annoyed by all the comment spam for webhostgear and other sites on this server lately. If you notice anything that comes up as a 406 error please report it to me.

The new rule set helps stop comment spammers by checking for http and various other things in a post and bad keywords like adult stuff, etc.

So far it’s already caught one in the first few minutes the rule set was installed. I’ll try to make a public mod_security rule set available to visitors shortly but I can’t give away the kitchen sink ya know

Would anyone be interested in a yearly subscription service where we supply a set of updated mod_security rules and other custom rule sets for their servers?

Email me and we can discuss.
