In my recent purge of spam from the blog system, one of the things I've been doing is closing as many posts as I can. This has proven to be extremely effective; I can now go about twelve hours between checks without finding anything (I just checked, and I had just three spam comments on someone's blog entry from 2005).
Pretty exciting (for me, at any rate).

Posted by: EVula at March 13, 2007 01:49 PMMy question is: why does *YOUR* blog get hit so much? It makes no sense!
Posted by: Cha0s at March 14, 2007 12:54 AMWell, mine is one of the more active on the system, so just by the law of averages, it makes sense for me to have more than most.
That said, in the recent spam deluge, insomniac's blog that was hit harder than mine.
Posted by: EVula at March 14, 2007 11:18 AMWell I meant EVula.net in general. I've seen a lot of blogs, and yours seems to be more of a target than most.
Posted by: Cha0s at March 14, 2007 09:45 PMThat... I dunno. Maybe because, for most blogs, there's just *one* blog, as opposed to here, where there are several dozen.
Posted by: EVula at March 14, 2007 10:51 PMGood point. That could explain it.
