I would prefer to block proxies, hoping it will cut down on spam and sploggers. The biggest issue that I have is sploggers who rip off my content. Glad you like the theme design. It is simple and search engines seem to love it. So far, I am happy with the changes. I would prefer to block proxies, hoping it will cut down on spam and sploggers.

Saying that there are alt ways to get rid of unwanted people and some legit people use proxies (as do some services) so I would suggest if your happy with your defences (if not check out http://thenexus.tk/how-to-stop-comment-spam/ ) and open up the proxies. Btw loved your theme design ;) The IP is actually a loopback address … so it might actually be a hosting side issue.

However, when I did apply a couple of them and I received some emails from users that said that they were denied access from the Google reader. The thing that I noticed is that they were be logged as, 127.255.255.255 IP address by my system. They said that they aren't behind a proxy, but it sure looks like it to me. Looks like they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar! I found some of these hacks to be quite helpful.

I also don't use this information in any way to prevent spam but I probably could. If I were going to do that in code I would keep a list of the user-agents in my database and use PHP to do the lookup whenever someone posted something. I would populate the user-agent list automatically from user-agents I saw on the site rather than trawling the web looking for every possible user-agent, many of which will never visit my site. I would score them based on whether the posts were marked as spam by some other means and then use this score to help determine whether the post was spam or not. Also, your anti hacking stuff stripped the word "java script" from my post above which is a pretty fundamental part of the recommendation. Spam bots don't run java script so if a client is running java script, it's not a spam bot. I don’t check user-agents in the website, I just do that manually when I’m looking at my stats.
