Ban visitors from certain sites from viewing or adding comments.

## Description ##

This plugin allows you to selectively disable comments for visitors from certain sites (e.g. reddit).  If a visitor's HTTP referer matches one of the hosts you've blacklisted, your post will look as if comments have been disabled (neither existing comments nor the new comment form will be shown).

## Installation ##

1. Unzip all files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Edit the list of hostnames you wish to block under Settings->Discussion.

## Frequently Asked Questions ##

### What happens if a site visitor clicks through to a second page? ###

They will then be able to see and leave comments.  This plugin makes no attempt to track visitors or remember referer information.

### Do you know you misspelled "referer"? ###

Yes.  Blame the HTTP specification.
