!@#$)”(*%ing spammers!

Moment @ 3:28 am | Filed under: Stray Clutter

They got my blog. Anyone have any fixes for how to stop their onslaught? I’d sure love to see some prosecutions start rolling down, but that’ll probably take a while under the new spam laws…

For now, if you want to leave comments, just know that I have to moderate them before posting and it won’t show up instantly. But I’ll get to it… Promise…

UPDATE: Thanks to a nice woman named Michelle, I went out to a WordPress spam resource and found two fixes — one to keep spammers from filling up the MySQL db and one to stop spam programs from hitting the comments .php page. Seems to be working great so far.
