Block RSS

Hey,

Is there a way to block RSS? I know its can be done with nginx. But how?

I tried to search through the search tool but I couldn’t find it.

You want to block all incoming requests for RSS content from your site?

If so, I’m curious why?

Yes, that is correct.

I have another site who is using an RSS reader on my forum, so all my posts are being automatically posted on his site. I dont like it.

This topic may have some info

I am wondering if you changed category permissions

Delete

  • Everyone See
    Change to
  • Trust Level 0. See

Then those categories require login to view… though this would mean content not searchable outside forum if I understand correctly.

Yes, I saw that post. This blocks bots (and search engines) from viewing that page and that is not what I want. I just need to delete .rss pages.

Also, my forum is public, i cant apply the second solution.
