My Blog is Under Attack!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I am pretty pissed right now. The spammers have moved from email to blogs. I know this isn’t JUST happening, its been going on for a while now, but in the last two days, my blog has been hit hard. I don’t mind if real people are leaving comments. What I cannot stand are automated programs leaving comments for dugs or poker or whatever. In the last two days, over 100 of these spam comments have appeared on my blog.

I really don’t want to have to turn off comments completely. Since .Text has not been updated in ages, it lacks any sort of spam protectection. For the moment I have just written an SQL script to go through and remove all of the offending comments, but this will require constant attention from me, which isn’t ideal either. If it gets really bad, I might have to delve into the source code and rig something up myself.

My guess is that things will only get worse from here 😦
