Torch Lake

Кубик-рубик: many of our russian visitors are abusing this site... posting hundreds of off-topic comments and making repeated attempts to hack my server. though we appreciate our russian friends, we dont appreciate some of the bad things that have been caused by a few of them.

I am sorry to say it, but any comment that is not applicable to the article will be deleted; this is a nice photoblog, not a malicious game :)

It's goes somewhat against the original concept of this site, but it is a sad fact that with increased traffic comes an increased number of idiots. Things will have to change here, just slightly, to compensate. There has been some really good legitimate stuff posted here from Russia and i really don't want to have to put a block on the entire .ru top level domain... neither do we want to venture down the avenue of intricate registration processes and email verification. There must be a happy medium.

blocking referrals from three of the major offending referral urls would probably do the trick ;)

I will totally email u tomorrow morning (gmt) send me details of the offending urls in the meantime and i will hard code some denial into the proceedings.

agree on the blocking ips- rotten gets a lot of noise/hack attempts and that's the best way to deal with the nastiest.. referral blocking++
