Sep. 7th, 2010 05:35 pmDue to some recent activity on my blog, I am now filtering my anonymous comments. I am also requiring all anonymous commenters to fill out a captcha with every post.
I am doing this due to some recent spam I have been seeing on my peggy hairaplooza post. As much as I love nice comments, I hate spamming comments just as much. I have tried to just delete them, but I think this method will work out better.
I also want to make a note, and it should notify every poster on my journal, that I do track and record every IP on my journal. So yes, when I received 3 or 4 comments on the same entry from the same person, I did know it was you. I also looked up those IP's and have noticed several of them are on IP blacklists due to spamming.
So hopefully these new measures will help out, as it cuts away from my time from trying to finish my latest project when I have to clean out my journal of spam. It also cuts away from the content of my journal if it just became a stream of spam, which would then discourage everyone from commenting. I personally just believe this is a better way to protect my brain, and to protect my visitors sanity.
If this spam continues or worsens I will disable all anonymous commenting until I see fit to allow it again. So please, to the spammy douchebags, don't spoil it for everyone else who can use features and follow rules appropriately. :)
