Spam Be-Gone - Defeating the evil spamwhores

September 2, 2005

I made a post a couple weeks ago about comment spammers littering my blog with gambling links, every day I'd have to delete a few dozen spam comments, then they really started pouring in. I had 40 one morning which led me to block certain referrers that showed up as spammers and to install a CAPTCHA image on the comment submission page. Its been two weeks now and I haven't had one spam.. YIPPIEEEEEEEEEE. I log all the captcha failures and referrer blocks and boy are they trying its now up to a couple hundred attempts per day to log comment spam but all of them are being blocked. Bye Bye bitches. ;)
