Comment spam continues to be ridiculous
As previously noted, this blog is under serious attack from the comment spammers, and there’s a slight chance a legitimate comment will get lost as supposed spam. That said, I know of only one such confirmed incident in all the time I’ve had WordPress-based blogs.
Also, the spam blockers are imperfect, and some vile spam comments do get through until I delete them, commonly the same day. Sorry about that. It’s nothing that you haven’t also seen many times over in your email, I’m sure.
I just checked a few minutes ago, and Akismet intercepted 372 comments since the last time I cleared the buffer, less than a day ago. The top 150 (all I could check) were certainly real spam …
EDIT: 51 more spam cleared out 4 1/2 hours later.
