Comment spammers

Been getting a lot of attempts in the vein of if one link doesn't get through maybe a hundred will: Here is just a fraction of the 140 links that came in through one attempt tonight:

First, more than eight URLs embedded into one comment get automatically placed into moderation. Eight? Slammer. Nine? Slammer. Eleventy-thousand? Slammer. Seven? Possible approval if it doesn't get caught up on my other search criteria. Second, I have a flat-file of common spam words. If you want to comment on how you were able to score some Viagra while playing online Poker, your comment will probably be placed in moderation until such time as I have to either approve it or toss it in the bit-bucket while uploading your IP addresses and blocking future access. This is done with about 60 lines of PERL and a few flat-file databases. This Blog = FULL OF WIN! Comment Spammers = Bunch of fscking pathetic Looosers. In the words of Harlan Ellison, go back to jerking off to your copy of Reader's Digest... Posted by DaveH at November 6, 2009 6:09 PM
