SPAM

Anyone else getting hammered with spam since tonight's move?????

What's worse is they don't have the de-spamming tagline on them.

I'm getting about one a minute, so I should have about 500 by morning when I get up. Oh joy, something to look forward to!

Comments

Comments don't even work, and we're getting spammed.

Sounds about right.

Blah.

I'm working on it.

Found the problem. Should be fixed shortly.

The blacklist exploded in the move. That mean that comments weren't working, but spam was. Not really the desired effect.

I'm reloading the blacklist now.

And thanks Mark - I couldn't work out why comments weren't working, and then you pointed out the spam problem, and I finally put two and two together.

You save me a lot of pain there.

Best way to clip out spam messages - uses CAPTCHA codes.
Only human (or super inteligent scripts) can read captcha and to enter correct code.

CAPTCHA?

One of these.

They are evil.
