I’ve been getting my usual steady stream, which has been nicely handled by Kitten’s Spaminator. I’m sure the spammers are probably going to “punish us” for the rel=”nofollow” nonsense that we are supposed to be so thankful for.
Until today WP-Hashcash had been working great for me. But now when I make a new post to my coffee blog, I instantly get a new spam comment. Creepy! Anyone know how they’re doing this or how to stop it?
Well thanks to all the idiots who put in NoFollow (which does nothing a good comment+trackback spam filter couldn’t do more effectively) on a permanent basis, the spammers will now more likely switch to other methods of comment+trackback spamming that are more difficult to filter. thanks all you G$-lovers out there!
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
Agreed – all my logs show are legitimate enquiries…
spooky …

I’ve seen a switch to referer spamming on my site, which I’ve never really understood the logic behind (logical spammers? Hah!).
I’ve been getting hit the other weekend, but yea, it seems to have tapered off.
