Moron comment spammers - 17 of them in five minutes

All marker based and these have been completely nailed for over two years with a simple line of regex. This is not a case of Darwinian selection going on here -- rather, I remember Einstein's wonderful quote:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
--Albert Einstein
Six of them used a proxy IP address (which gets put into moderation immediately), ten of them used IP addresses that are known spam sites and are blocked against a public black-hole database and one lone attempt was blocked by the line of regex. All 17 IP addresses are now put into the kill file and will not darken my servers door again... Posted by DaveH at July 24, 2009 8:41 PM | TrackBack
