Spam Attacks

Okay, I’m thinking about going back to my custom blog platform. I never got comment spam on it. (At least I never noticed it. :) But now I’m looking at WordPress telling me to moderate 13 spam comments, including this gem:

“Attractive component of content. I just stumbled upon your blog and in accession capital to claim that I acquire in fact enjoyed account your weblog posts. Any way I will be subscribing in your augment and even I fulfillment you get entry to consistently rapidly.”

This is ridiculous. I’m going to have to dig into the WordPress code and make a plugin or something to kill this stuff. All you have to do is require Javascript and like 99% of spam goes away. I think spammers should at least be required to do a little bit of work.

This page is a static archival copy of what was originally a WordPress post. It was converted from HTML to Markdown format before being built by Hugo. There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.

Sorry, new comments are disabled on older posts. This helps reduce spam. Active commenting almost always occurs within a day or two of new posts.
