Standing On Boxes

What’s with the comment spam?

Suddenly my blog has been discovered by the spammers? More in the past day than in the past 2 months.

I haven’t done an in-depth study on the topic but those automated comment spam pushers are annoying. Don’t they notice that it never makes it to live on my site? The WP spam catcher I’m using grabs it. And on top of that, all comments have to be approved. By me.

Of course, I shouldn’t have to use an anti-spam plugin to catch it. It shouldn’t be possible for a spam-bot to insert spam into my blog’s comments for me to reject.
