webundle Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi,Don't think this is possible, but worth asking.One of the sites I run is a charity facebook group, but a large number of people join via the associated website.Big problem with daily spam posts selling fake Ugg boots and Vuitton handbags - all with different domains, bit all domains included the word "Ugg" or "Vuitton".I know nothing can be done on the Facebook side of things, but is there are a way to block visitors originating from domains including those keywords?All ip's are different too which is why I think it can't be done, but thought I'd check just in case there is a solution!Thanks, Alistair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You can build an email filter to discard any emails with the from containing those words. Choose the account level filtering option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webundle Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks Bruce, but it's not email that's the problem, just the fact that they visit the site. No problem - didn't think there was much I could do.Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This is a method I have not tested but give it a try, just add this to the top of your .htaccess file, SetEnvIfNoCase Referer ugg spammer=yes SetEnvIfNoCase Referer vuitton spammer=yes Order allow,deny Allow from all Deny from env=spammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
