Spam attack

» Posted on June 2, 2006 03:29 AM » Category: General

Does anyone have any suggestions? This site is now being bombarded with spam. Over 80 went up today. I don't want to have to close comments again, but the time taken deleting them is too great for me to continue unless I can find a way of dealing with the problem.

I have a Turing code at the moment but that seems now to be ineffective. What else can I do?

Check with the chaps over on Samizdata. They ofen deal with large spam storms.

What a shame these morons ruin everything for everyone else - and feel rather clever for doing so.

Spam is what got us through the war young man,you will have to develop a taste for it like your elders.Don't the do "Spam Fritters" at the "Fat Duck"?

Understood, Stephen - these Neil Clarks [sorry - prats] who wish to destroy your blog by spamming will have succeeded if you drop the comments. Isn't the whole point the exchange of free speech - something I know you strongly stand for?

Trace their IP addresses and contact their ISP.

If you can't filter it out, then it's a case of a simple cost benefit analysis. That's stating the obvious, but I would add that IMHO you shouldn't feel obliged to have a comments section.

Personally I think comments rarely improve a blog. He says, in a comments section.

"I think comments rarely improve a blog."

I agree.

Of course they improve the blog - what satisfaction is there in operating in a vacuum? Plus, you two did make the statement in the comments section

Stated by: James on June 3, 2006 2:00 PM

I think it depends on the readers a blog attracts. Blogs that attract informed, thoughtful (not to say opinionated), readers do get added fizz from Comments. Obviously, not only does it add to the entertainment factor of the blog, IMHO, but also provides a useful indication of the way the wind's blowing because the commentariat is engaged politically.

Can't you consult your fellow bloggers? You must all suffer from the same pestilence.

Akismet would help.

Blogger uses word verification software which is slightly harder to fool. Don't know if you can use it; I'm not techie enough. Someone will. Keep comments enabled though if you can. Talking to yourself makes you sound daft.

How come Harry's Place, using bog-standard unmoderated Haloscan, escapes these problems?
