I have several things to post…
But first this morning, I had to deal with over 60 spam comments that I received in under an hour.
This is a real problem. I have installed a blacklist which I think no one will ever notice (the possible exception being Turek, who refuses to supply a real e-mail, and EVERY one of his gets tagged as spam until I approve it)
I think they have all been deleted, and I believe that, at the moment, the blacklist is functioning… the attack is continuing, but now none of the comments are making it to the site.
I have a (very raw) application that I wrote that some who have a blog might be interested in to post soon, and some other random junk. But I needed to get this taken care of first.
If anyone notices any differences in the comments, please let me know. As always, it will be easiest if you register for a TypeKey account, and then all your comments go right through, and I can globally “site approve” you.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
(Ugh. I received another 6 spam comments in the time it took me to post this.)
UPDATE: I have verified that Turek can post and the spam filter is 13 for 13 on spurious posts today. Just don’t post about viagra, cialis, online gambling, porn or rolexes, and you should have no problem posting to my site. (I know, I know, I just ruled out all the fun subjects. If you have need of those terms, contact me.
