May 29, 2004Comment Spam SucksOk, so I come to my blog this afternoon and find over 1200 comment spam messages in about 4 hours. Not good. My saving grace was Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist plugin, which basically cleared it all out in about 2 passes. If by some chance a real comment got deleted, I'm sorry. Around they 800 mark I started more skimming the list of spam, and may have missed a real entry or two. Hopefully I got the right regex in place to block the be*stiality and family-r*pe crap out of my system. If much more of this occurs, I might have to disable comments or something. I would prefer not to do that if I can! If you know the jerks that are doing this spam, please make sure you beat them senseless for me. Thanks.

1200 comments, that's crazy you might try MT-bayesian (http://james.seng.cc/archives/000337.html). I seems to work pretty good with a little learning. Posted by: Dave King at May 29, 2004 10:53 PMI had the same thing this morning (594) and the same number again this evening. Go to the jayallen site and import the latest master list as well, or get one of the auto-update scripts to do it. Damn spammers. Argh. I'd close out all old comments, but people still sometimes get value from them I think. Posted by: Arcterex at May 29, 2004 11:21 PMI just got another wave, better add 'incest' and 'taboo' to your blacklist, and check again. Fsckers. Posted by: Arcterex at May 30, 2004 06:35 PMThe same guys got me too. About 1000 comments. I have two specific changes in MT for you to do (one by an employee of Six Apart, albeit unofficial) but I won't post them in public. Please contact me directly for more details.
