Got spammed
Thursday, August 18, 2005

Yesterday I found 7 spam messages commented in the previous post. It was automated spam. Sent an email to Blogger support 24 hours ago, no answer.

If this happens again I think I'm gonna switch to haloscan.

This could be easily fixed by generating a validation image, the commenter types the text generated on the image to confirm the comment. A good way to remove those automated bots.

The bots are specially designed for Blogger/Blogspot, they find blogs by using the "Next Blog" link top top of every blog. I know this because I had a lot of referrers from blogs that I didn't even recognize, and when I went to them I could not find a link to my blog on any of them, so it must have been the "Next Blog" button.

Annoying.
