one turns off the redirects and rejects every request to an old url?
I just checked on my old newgods url and noticed there were still a bunch of requests getting there – many with spam referers – despite my .htaccess redirections for nearly everything. Mostly what I forgot to redirect were rss feeds.
Next question: how do I actively reject requests?

You can do an redirect with status “gone” (410) and omit the URL. I don’t really see a reason to do that, but you can.
Don’t know wether I want to do that really. But the requests are mostly for feeds I never redirected correctly or deleted waaaay before or spam referrals …. I’ll probably leave everything as is.
