Pesky Spambots
Posted By The Foo On 29th November 2006 @ 12:43 In Blogs and Blogging | 2 Comments
Been receiving tremendous amount of blog post spam from [1] spambots lately. Some of them even extend more than 100 lines or so with useless advertisement links. I have written about this before but I still can’t believe how stupid the posts are — there are two spam posts that I get a lot i.e. “You have good guest book” (I don’t even have one!) and the other one says, “You have good site, what is your designer? I wants become friends with you.” (Yes, with broken English and all)
I have since installed [2] Peter’s Anti Spam Image plugin. Those of you who comment now have to type in a word that is shown in the image box. I chose this plugin because it does not discrimate against users who have cookies disabled and I can pick my own fun random words to display. Sorry for the inconvenience and the extra field to type in but those pesky spammers just spoil it for everyone. I know it won’t stop spammers but it may reduce some of the spam from those pesky [1] spambots on the net.
If you have any trouble commenting, don’t hesitate to contact me. Any feedback on the usage of the plugin is much appreciated.
