Gibberish Spam

I've got blasted with gibberish spam all weekend long. At first I was just deleting them and closing comments on posts that got hit (The pattern was three comments per post before moving on) because it's too much trouble to take down all their IP addresses on my laptop.

Well, this morning, I'm back in possession of a mouse and here's a list of IPs that left comment spam last night:

89.33.115.72
201.245.173.147
85.180.66.28
70.173.43.159
83.226.109.179
74.136.31.126
124.101.251.181
201.32.218.132
124.244.162.122
83.64.83.189
24.37.240.167
124.29.195.54
203.162.27.90
69.93.209.2
210.51.51.24
201.6.231.142
85.186.119.231
202.51.232.227
75.111.19.61
222.151.211.93
62.231.243.136

Update: Not that it seems to make a difference, but here's the list of IPs from the spam I got last night:

216.23.249.18
66.192.6.131
221.97.27.16
58.71.35.206
209.200.52.73
200.60.194.218
67.83.80.253
200.206.233.198
68.38.19.249
71.195.167.112
68.52.113.166
24.78.178.35
142.217.205.220
217.144.201.158
74.128.150.143

The bad thing about the gibberish spam is that everyone is getting hit, and when we de-spam using the email notifications we can end up adding useless urls that statistically will probably never be used again, and/or legitimate urls like g00gle.com and technorati.com, unless we specifically delete them from the found urls section...

Die, spammers, die!

Looks like someone deleted google before I could...how can I keep track for my contest if I don't know who blacklisted it this time? ;)

I'm still getting them. It seems like every other spam has g00gle.com in the found URL box.

I did actually black list G00gle once by mistake - going too fast. But I removed that one from the list. But it looks like someone else did it as well.

I found and removed google.com.

I know this because I just wrote google.com.

there I did it again!

Someone just re-added it, Stephen, since your comment came up just now when I ran the de-spammer...

Grrrr.....

Ugh. Sorry Susie; it might have been me. I deleted every reference to G00gle.com that I saw, but one might have slipped through.
