Ronnie's Blog

This is just an impromptu post regarding a particular nuisance who I just found out spams, and trolls a lot of WP bloggers. I blocked him/her a long time ago from leaving comments, not just to me, but to my followers.

I found that the best way to prevent this unhinged trolling person, who goes by the name, “mosckerr”, from leaving any comments, is to insert the name “mosckerr” into the WordPress “Disallowed Comment Keys”. You can use this method for anyone who becomes a nuisance on your blog. Any comments from them will go straight to trash, and eventually be deleted.

It was on the blog “beetleypete” The musings of a Londoner, now living in Norfolk, that I discovered how much of a pest this person is, which is the reason for this post. Check out what Pete and his followers have to say, and you will then understand more of what I am talking about.

Mosckerr: A Warning

You do not need to wait for someone to become a nuisance on your blog, you can block them pre-emptively using these steps.

Go to:
WP Dashboard

Settings
Discussion

Then scroll down to:
Disallowed Comment Keys

When a comment contains any of these words in its content, author name, URL, email, IP address, or browser’s user agent string, it will be put in the Trash. One word or IP address per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.

You can enter an address, or partial name to successfully block them from making nuisance comments.
