Don’t let the door hit your ass on your way out

Looks like I’m not the only one who has been getting referrer spam from phiberweb.com. Two lines in my .htaccess and he now gets a 403.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} phiberweb\.com RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

Mark Pilgrim is also very keen on killing rude bots.

While I’m at it I gave kooqoo.com the finger, since their RSS crawler incorrectly says their site is referring to me. It doesn’t. Bye bye.

    I got the same thing, couldn’t for the world figure out what it was or why I got it.

    Got to ask Breki to stop it, but I would like to know for what purpose it does that.
