Fun with comment spam...

Been getting a bunch of comment spam attempts from Iran. Several machines are being used (I track incoming data streams and resolve back to their ISP -- even further if I want to spend the time). The joke is that for a nation that is so morally "correct" in their own eyes, the spams are for porn and gambling for money. Both of these are very much forbidden under their practices. These posts never made it onto the website -- I'm running a couple scripts that block 99% of the bad stuff. I was tempted to block the whole ISP but I'm just going to block the eight specific addresses. They aren't getting through and this gives the other 16K addresses the ability to see my site. (large ISP) These people are beneath my contempt. Hypocrytes... Posted by DaveH at August 28, 2005 10:49 PM
