For the past three hours, a spammer has been attacking this site, attempting to post comment spam. Of course, none of the over 600 attempted comment spams have ever shown up. The attacks have come from a variety of different IP numbers (at least 8 different ones at a quick glance), so it appears that the perpetrator is using remotely controlled “zombie” machines.
The comments have been a breeze to delete from my system (just search on a common keyword, go to “mass edit mode”, check all, and delete!). Since I use Kitten’s Spam Words plugin, the spams contribute more fodder against future spams. And thanks to my Spammer TarPit plugin, I get the amusement of seeing some feedback when I block the next attempt.
Everybody repeat after me…. “Spammers are stupid.”

Is anybody here?
Can you please tell me where did you get those cool buttons ?????????
I posted the change as a comment on your plugin post
Send me a diff on those changes, enough people use both, so it’d be nice to have.
For added pleasure, I’ve added new code (unreleased) to TarPit that should run a portscan against the spamming host and email me the results. It hasn’t been triggered again since that addition, so I don’t know how well it works, yet.
I also modified Kittens Spam Words plugin so that it can be used on comment searches, too.

I think I’m now going to grab your tar pit. I originally thought it was a bad idea, but now …
unethical. ADB Popup Blocker and ANB Pop Up Blocker are from the same company and you should not buy their product. Any SEO people want to help me get this post up on top on the SEs?

I installed a new plugin for WordPress today, called Kitten’s Spam Words, which I found on Dougal Campbell’s post on comment spamming . The plugin allows me to delete particular comments and mark them as spam. Future comments with similar attributes are automatically added to the moderation queue, which is nice. I also thought about using the
m sorry to say, it was a whole different story. What follows is my frank personal experience with a particular featureset of Wordpress and some related thoughts. Others seem to have had a much more positive outcome: Leave Me Alone, Flooded, Spam Attack, Spammers Are Stupid , Spam Already.
