Blog: Spam comments on the up

I've recently seen the number of spam comments on the increase, and worryingly a high number getting through the 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 settings a little tighter on what is automatically published. Which means even comments from trusted commenters may be delayed.

Comments

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.

Just had a comment on this topic blocked this morning. Just 1 of 161 blocked, but it amused me a little given it was posted on a topic about blocking spam.

Sorry, comments are now closed for this topic, the topic may be an old one or I have closed them for another reason. If you have a burning desire to comment on this topic, please contact me.
