The war against comment spam continues…
Posted January 1st, 2005 at 11:57pm
I came back from a very short vacation, and found nearly 400 comment spams waiting for me. This is in spite of using blacklists and denying a few key spambots. The number of hits on this site has quadrupled in the past few weeks, and apparently so has my spam.
Time to take another tack. Perhaps the much-lauded Spam Karma from Dr. Dave is worth a shot?
Update : Installed and implemented without a hitch. If anyone posts a legitimate comment and it doesn’t get through, please drop me a line via email so I can fix things.

Are you aware of any smart blockers? I know of a friend who is using an image verification addon for his comments. Ie there is a computer generated image that one must ‘convert’ into letters and type in a box to confirm that you are in effect, not a robot.
