My b2evolution Version:

Hello,

Google is flagging my website as Referring Spam because of the Trackbacks: Comments that people leave on my site. I don't publish the spam, I delete it. It is impossible to keep up with marketing spam comments and links.

The following error creates the 403 Forbidden error as a pop-up screen.

I've deleted the trackback option on my pages. Please advise on next steps.

You can recreate the error by googleing "Oak Ridge Prep" or "Nick the Poodle".

===================================

403 Forbidden

Please stop referer spam.

We have identified that you have been refered here by a known or supposed spammer.

If you feel this is an error, please bypass this message and leave us a comment about the error. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you are actually doing referer spam, please note that this website/b2evolution no longer records and publishes referers. Not even legitimate ones! While we understand it was fun for you guys while it lasted, please understand our servers cannot take the load of all this cumulated spam any longer... Thank you.

Also, please note that comment/trackback submitted URLs will be tagged with rel="nofollow" in order to be ignored by search engines.
