Comment spew
Got the code revision dialed in a bit more. By monitoring IP addresses, I am able to harvest a lot more spam attempts than if I just block them on the first offense. This way, some some zombie system wants me to by "fluffy bunny online", I can hang off nuking their ass and collect additional opportunities to gamble online and to watch hot toaster on toaster action.
This afternoon alone, I had 23 spam attempts and two legitimate comments. The comments sailed through just fine.
Each and every comment spam attempt was put into moderation for me to review.
I keep mentioning that I am not a programmer, I am a hardware geek.
My favorite programming language is solder.
Still, my programming fu is many orders of magnitude greater than these idiots running the botnets.
About 50 lines of perl, some regex and three flat-file "databases" and I whip their puny asses into the ground and make them drink bongwater.
