Comment Spammers posting here … here?
I’ve had a rash of comment spam. It’s like trying to kill cockroaches. I keep switching comments off for one posting, and up pops some spam in another. I have left comments on for my posts up till now, but my default will be to shut them off until I figure out which MT plugin or upgrade to use.
Why would they bother with my site anyway? If there’s the A-list bloggers, then B-list, and so on, then I am down there around ‘X’ or ‘Y’, right?
Just out of curiousity, I will leave comments on for this post…
(and yes, ironic that this problem hit so hard on the same day that I had made a posting related to “free speech”. Free Speech is fine. Advertising on my site without my fucking permission is not.)
Hey. Just thought I’d stop by since you came to visit my blog. Method ten (close old comments) of that site you posted is what I’ll be using for the time being. Changing script names also looks like it’d be a nice method, although it might make other mods more difficult.
Anyway, thanks for the information you posted on my blog.
