Given that I have always tried as hard as I can to make browsing my site (in all its incarnations) as similar as possible in both the latest standards compliant browser(s) as well as lynx/links (without resorting to browser idents, thankyouverymuch) it’s with regret that I now announce that I’ve added JavaScript to my site, and you’ll not be able to leave a comment without it being enabled 🙁
For some unknown reason, denying every single spam comment and throwing the IP’s into a banned list just doesn’t stop them – they (the bots, or possibly the spammers) are just so dumb they keep trying. And trying. And trying. And trying. Over 450 in 48 hours is more than I’m willing to put up with, when the commenting is only really there for my own vanity anyway…
So, after using Spam Stopgap Extreme with success for Nicci, I’ve added the latest incarnation wp-hashcash to mine.
