 * Hi,
 * is there any way to prevent a specific site from leaving trackbacks to a post.
   While I’m happy for most of them one particular site is simply scraping my feed,
   publishing to their own site and then using trackbacks to get links back from
   me.
 * I don’t want to turn it off completely and at the moment I’m just manually marking
   them as spam but if there was an automatic way of doing it that would be great.
 * Thanks
 * AM1971

 * Heck with the blocking. Gotta admit that I would contact the host of that site
   and file a DMCA complaint as it would be a copyright issue.
 * If you need assistance, please post the url of the site without the http:// and
   www bits so it will remain broken and someone can give you info on how to procede.

 * I’d block them entirely. Figure out the IP of the scraper (by looking at server
   logs and such) and add this to your .htaccess:
 *     ```
       Order deny,allow
       Deny from 111.222.333.444
       ```
   
 * You can add more Deny lines after this if necessary, to deny more than one place.
 * If you need to block a wider segment, just leave off the end pieces like so:
   `
   Deny from 111.222.333.`
 * Or if he’s obviously using some domain, you can deny from that instead:
    `Deny
   from baddomain.com`
