re: Blog Comment Spam Yeah, blog comment spam sucks. I've gotten perhaps a dozen or so spam comments on my blog - http://scottonwriting.net/ - over the past year or so. Long term, blogs need to globally incorporate some more advanced commenting sematics, like requiring accounts or whatnot. Not only do anonymous accounts allow for easy blog spamming, but it's also too easy to post as someone else. I discuss some ideas on improving the blog experience at: http://scottonwriting.net/sowblog/posts/255.aspx |

re: Blog Comment Spam I got one today too. Apparently they used google to get a list of blogs by using this as their search query (in my case): allinurl:++"/posts/161.aspx" |

re: Blog Comment Spam Yep, it's few enough at the moment that it doesn't take long to just delete them. Now they have discovered .text I guess we need to come up with a better solution. |
