Hi guys

I couldn't think of a better title for this, so please bear with me!

Basically, I have a problem with people submitting what amounts to spam to my directory. They seem to be doing it manually, and it is getting quite annoying.

What I would like is a MOD to check a list of domains/urls from a table in a (seperate) database and fail to submit any that match.

So for example, if I have banned testdomain.com and someone tries to submit a page on this domain, I would actually like it to redirect them to a completely new page, where I can explain that domain has been blacklisted by my company.

Firstly, is this possible? I can't think it's actually going to take too much work as the checking process is already there for submissions isn't it?

Secondly, how much would it cost to get this MOD developed for me? I am happy to pay...

There are a few more considerations, but please PM me for more information - it basically amounts to the fact that I have more than 1 phpLD directory and would like to maintain just 1 database of "blacklisted" entries that they all referred to. This would save me having to update more than 1 database every time I added another domain/url.

Thanks for your help

Kind Regards
James

An IP ban feature on the adim side would be a good thing here..... :?:

IP ban could work, but I think I would prefer a domain/url ban... simply because it's easy to change your IP - move your site to a different host/server. In fact, even if your company has dedicated server, it's fairly trivial to change your IP to something else if your current one is causing you problems.
