Blog: Spam comments on the up

I've recently seen the number of spam comments on the increase, and worringly a high number getting through teh MT plugins. So, as a temporary measure until I look at why the MT plugins are no longer as good at filtering this crap and fix it, I have made the seetings a little tighter on what is automatically published. Which means even comments from trusted commentors may be delayed.

Hey Lee, happy to share my complete SpamLookup list of keywords, etc.

Thanks, Mr Filmstalker.

I've wiped all the spam comments so can't cross-reference against all the gibberish words in there.

Have installed TypePad AntiSpam and it's working a treat so far - no junk through, no false positives.

Comments are open on this topic. I value your input, shared experiences etc. My son and heir has asked that I don't do anything that could land me in court and financially broke, giving his inheritance to blood-sucking lawyers, so if you don't mind I'll block any comments that go against his wishes. If there is a comment here that could get me in trouble with him, please let me know.

Posts and comments with my name against them are my opinions, and should not be used in any financial decision making. I am not regulated by the FSA. Your home is not at risk for leaving a comment. Any comments by others are not my opinions, but that of the person kind enough to be here.
