Tight jean babes

I was beginning to worry that the link spammers had me down as a spod. Most of the spam (almost always cleared by the magnificent Askimet) has been car related. (And more recently hair related FFS!)

Anyway it seem like the p0rn crowd have finally caught up and the junk is increasing in both quantity and obscenity.

Current stats though seem better than what others have reported:

Comments - real: 2,162, spam:10,869 (on 295 posts)

‘Only’ 80% spam is way better than some folks, who are reporting 95% junk.

I guess the sos stats are going to deteriorate as a new audience of spammers had discovered us.

Is there a simple way to (mass) disable commenting on posts over a certain age in WordPress?

cheers

Simon

    After adding the Did You Pass Math plug-in to WordPress, my spam slowed to a trickle. You’ll still get some, but probably no where near as much.

    What is about cars that makes someone a spod, may I ask?

    Chris, dunno really, I just remember the kids that were into cars at school were considered slightly more sad than those that were into drink drugs and music. (that was the choice - spend your money on outrageous car insurance and petrol ( and crash repairs) or spend it in the pub)
