Dain bramaged spammers
I know I love to rag on these idiots but it is such a cheap target, it gives me a little thrill up my leg every time one of these losers visits and actually tries to post something.
Been seeing a resurgence of the hijacked-fora scam where someone will register and leave a post on some forum and then hit as many blogs and link to that post -- generally PPC but mostly Pills these days.
A couple days ago, I announced that I would be away from the computer for a few days -- I figured that people might be watching the site and I was correct, over 50 attempts where I usually get 10-20. None of them seceded but five legitimate comments were posted and went live without going into moderation.
These posts will use one hijacked forum. I will then get a followup that links to 20 or 30 different sites, usually xyzzy.com/users/fred/cheap_fluffy_bunnies; xyzzy.com/users/wilma/cheap_fluffy_bunnies; xyzzy.com/users/bambam/cheap_fluffy_bunnies.
You get the idea...
Now, these followup comments are including new fora that aren't in my list. So now, while the xyzzy.com will trigger banishment, it also blocks the comments linking to foofubar.com and devnul.com.
These idiots are not fit to be on the internet.
