Comment spam hell…
I don’t know about others but I have been getting shitloads of attempted comment spam lately. By lots I mean over 300 this week alone. Thank God for WordPress’ ability to filter comments based on keywords. Not a one of the spams for online poker has gotten through. They go straight to ‘awaiting moderation’ where I can do a bulk delete.
The floods always come overnight when I’m asleep, presumably so they’ll be there a while so Google has a chance at seeing them. Well, thanks to Google’s new system, even if they did get past moderation they won’t get any benefit of a higher ranking.
