Zel-kun’s Words

For some reason unbeknownst to me, one of my old posts, which has long sat dormant with its single comment, has suddenly come under attack.  Someone has taken time out of their day to program that particular URL into their bots and aim their spam cannons at my poor little site.

In six days, I have received no less than one THOUSAND comments on that post, my ‘flag as spam’ finger clicking as fast as it can, and I realize the damn thing is not working.  So I discovered a nice little option: Blacklisting.

Blacklisting is simple, I take a key word (in this case a constant in the address), and add it to the blacklist.  If any comment contains the phrase, it is deleted before it even reaches my moderation queue.

However, I have cause for concern that partial matches may cause a valid comment to be blacklisted.  If you made a comment and it did not show, please contact me directly or make a post on the forums.

Zel-kun out.
