Spammers = Losers

Did a few tweaks to the algorithm and am now getting 100% success rate in blocking comment spam with about a 95% success rate in passing legitimate comments. The few comments that were blocked got put into moderation and were allowed after I checked them out. Two memos to spammers: #1) -- burying your URL in a huge block of text does not work #2) -- if I am looking for some text -- say: "fluffy bunny" The first time I run across it, your precious little package is going to get its ass kicked into the dumpster. Your comments like:

free prescriptions for fluffy bunny
fluffy bunny online
medical fluffy bunny
website doctors prescribe fluffy bunny
and on and on and on for 50 more lines...

are going to get flagged at the first instance of "fluffy bunny" I know that you are looking to increase your chances of a given search engine to find this but if you bother to spend some time thinking about it (a stretch I know), you will see that it is useless... All in all:

EPIC FAIL
