Human Comment Spammers (Distraught Visitors)
My blog is rather protected in terms of comment and referral spam. See for example:
- Antispam part 1 Fighting weblog Comment Spam
- Antispam part 2 Anti Referral Spam Patch
But today I had one of those distraught visitors on my blog. Fighting CAPTCHA he succeeded to post approximately 50 comments in 2 hours simply copy-pasting "good" and "ok". It didn't take me that much to delete his comments but bothered me since I get all comments mailed to my inbox. Because of this I hope Chinese Communists will take him one day (IP address: 222.130.199.37).
Speaking of comment spam I don't use "nofollow" attribute since I don't like it (not to mention it is not effective and only escalates spammy attempts). Also I don't close comments for older posts.
