Block a webpage reffer?

[irn-bru]

I had a few naughty sites spamming the referal page that I didnt want my members to go to at the time my vbstats page was full of them.

I sorted it by useing a .htaccess file on the server, you must have mod_rewrite
on and put this in the .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://some-lamer-site.com/
RewriteRule /* http://www.another-site.com/ [R,L]

Replace some-lamer-site.com with the spammer site name that you want to redirect and change the another-site.com to the site they will go to instead of yours, personaly I redirect them to the pop up from hell page.

And so on...for each site you want to block..

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://some-lamer-site.com/
RewriteRule /* http://www.another-site.com/ [R,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.spammer_site.com/
RewriteRule /* http://www.internetlastpage.com/ [R,L]
