| Blog spam continued |
I mentioned my pain with blog spam before here. Now Joseph comments on his problems with the same occurance.
If anything, there is more blog spam here than were was when I wrote that last post. Here's the statistics. The first line is all blog comments and the second is the count of how many of those are spam:
mikal@daedalus:~/blog-comments$ find . -type f | wc -l 239 mikal@daedalus:~/blog-comments$ find . -type f -name "*.no" | wc -l 150 mikal@daedalus:~/blog-comments$
150 out of 239 are spam. Now, you'll never see these on the site, as I moderate all comments, but it's pretty annoying to have to moderate these. An interesting aspect is that almost all of these have been on two blog posts. Perhaps the spammers' scripting isn't all that good or something? They're all about poker games as well, so I suspect there is one culprit here for my problems.
So, should I close comments on those two posts (which would require writing the closing a comment code, which isn't too hard), or should I be patient and leave them open to see how long they continue to try in vain for?
