More comment spam today, and more referer log entries. My comment spammers file has been updated and the spammer’s ip/url reported to feedster.

This particular spammer used a Google search carefully crafted to yield a bunch of MT weblogs. I went and re-ran the search and sure enough, most of the search results still had the same spam that I got. Grumble. Gotta get my act together and install one of those filter plugins. But I’m still suspicious of any software program that claims to be able to tell spam from non spam. Wouldn’t it be great if we could incorporate those robot-defying, obfuscated text images right into the weblog tool?

  1. Andrew… don’t even worry about all these plug-ins and other hacks.

    Just change the name of your mt-comments.cgi file indicated in mt.cfg, rename the mt-comments.cgi to the same new name, and then rebuild your site

    I did it and haven’t received a comment spam since. Apparently the spam scripts are not working very hard to spam you.

    Oh, and you can also tell Google et al. to quit indexing your comment-entry-template.

  2. Hey thanks man! Did you find a monitor? I saw your post and read up on 10-bit gamma correction. I’ll need to upgrade my own before long, so thanks for posting that.
