Hats off to the GWB team!

Looks like a rash of pesky SPAM comments from some loser selling "cheap hydrocodone" started rolling in around 2:30am, and didn't let up until 5:30am.  The IP address of the perpetrator, 82.207.2.105, points to someone in Frankfurt, Germany.  (For anyone motivated enough, feel free to initiate a DoS attack!)

I figured I'd have to mop up the 15 or so added junk comments, but when I went to look, all of this annoying comment SPAM is already gone!  The comment counts aren't yet accurate, but that can probably be sorted out with a quick manual UPDATE statement.

Thanks, GWB team!

We just fixed the feedback counts and put some new "filters" to try to protect us from mass comment spams again. Captchas will get rid of the majority of spammers, but the can still be broken.

Thanks for the post, we strive to keep this community clean from spam 11/30/2006 5:56 AM | Jeff Julian
