Spammers: I Won’t Disable My Comments

Well, today my blog was under comment spam attack… for the second time this week. My apologies to those subscribed to certain posts and that got kinda spammed as well. In response to my claims about my blog engine being “unspammable”, one of those bastards dedicated time to build a script specially designed to work against my system. How flattering!

So, while I work in order to keep anybody else out of the problem, I’m only disabling the subscriptions, while I work on a solution. Right now I’m very busy with client work, but I hope I’ll find time during the weekend to add extra security.

In the meantime, comments will remain on (even though traffic has been kinda low lately), since the system already blocks massive comments posting: from the thousands of messages sent by the script, only less than 200 actually made it through. I plan to reduce that window.
