Hello

I have a forum vb v3.8.8

Some one has created a blog on Blogger and pulls content from me by rss

I do not want to disable rss

I just want to block this person

I tried several solutions but did not succeed

for example block domain :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} blogspot\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} blogger\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

and block ip

Order Deny,Allow
#
<Limit PUT DELETE>
Deny from all
</Limit>
#
<Limit GET POST>
Deny from 216.58.208.137
</Limit>

and i use plug

if(preg_match("#(vBulletin)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {

It works to block the vbulletin site , but does not work with Blogger

any one can help me ?

Note: my site on special server and I can access to the server panel

File a DMCA. If they want to steal your content blocking the RSS won't matter.

What if that person simply visits your site in a normal browser and copies the text over?

Many people have the best way to configure the content is rss withdraw from several sites and collected at one site

Such a person shall not copy content one topic after another if it did not work with him to withdraw from my RSS will look for another site so I want to get rid of him

Not a problem if someone copies the content of the subject or two

The problem is that the withdrawal of all content

Are you sure the IP you are blocking is correct? Have you verified it shows up in your access_logs? The person could be running the script from somewhere else, not from the blogger site.

Well you can always turn off RSS after all it is used mainly for syndication. I do not think that RSS is viewed favorably by Google unless you are a news site.

I can also tell you that they will go nowhere on Google or Bing if that is how they are getting content.
