Blog Spam

We use mt-blacklist but that’s not enough. I’m trying the technique described in Software Monoculture (found via Danny Ayers).

  1. Ok, hopefully comments still work…

  2. Testing testing…
    After changing the name of the comments script a nasty bot still managed to lock on, though now I’ve changed it again hopefully I’ll have enough time to come up with a Plan C. I’m also using MT-Blacklist.
    btw, I noticed a couple of days ago that the FOAF blog had some ugly comment spam in older posts.

  3. hi Danny. yeah, mt-blacklist was getting rid of most of the bots, but a bunch of kids were mucking about. It’s the same MT installation, so hopefully there will be a period of calm.
