Hello, I am not sure if you can help me.

My site has been stopped by server administrator as there has been too much POST inquiries:
/?option=com_easydiscuss,/?option=com_easysocial&_ts=1420674009373

I guess I need security from SPAM, BOTS. As most of the posts contain com_easysocial, com_easydiscuss I thought you might have any suggestions what should I do.

Thank you.
Hello Dalia,

Unfortunately you can't stop these spam bots to make such "POST" requests. You can only prevent these spam posts from being submitted with the anti spam rules. I guess the rest you would need to rely on your hosting provider or probably detect these "ip" addresses and block them altogether!

What I normally do on the server layer is to route these pathetic bots to a blackhole 127.0.0.1
