    Long URL generated by the Edit Comment links
    Same long URLs trying to empty out spam comments
    The long URL results in being unable to edit Comments.

    WordPress 4.4.2 Multi-Site, iThemes Security, Akismet, all plugins latest version

    URL includes &_wp_http_referer 4 times, each with the encoded URL of the referring page.
    If I edit the URL, to not have the referer, the shorter link works

    Have iThemes Security configured to block access to pages with long URLs, to block a common hacker practice of sending malware via URL. 635 character URL is too long!

    Examples:
