Hopeless Geek

So, apparently I’m not the only one that was hit by some bleepity-bleep-bleep spammer trying to post 400+ comment spams to my blogs. MT-B blocked about 300 of them, moderated 80, and let 4 through. That’s pretty decent. The other 80 all had the same base domain so future attacks will fail for that one domain. There are also regular expressions in place now that should moderate the more … interesting ones.

Your comments may get moderated if you include any terms relating to animal sex or incest. If so, I’ll notice when I check my mail next and approve/reject it, so don’t worry. A little delay is all. Keep those illegal-in-Alabama discussions going! Woo!

That said, I’m wondering if going TypeKey-only is the way to go. Yes, it makes you make an account (boo-hoo) but it keeps things a little more sane on the management end. If I get two more of these full-on assaults I’ll do it, but not until then. It will alienate the more lazy amongst you.
