The same lovely person has hit my site for the last few days with comment spam, each time I've blacklisted his url, then he has come back with a new variant, I thought I'd better share so you guys can block him too. I'm going to be careful here to try and block it from being in his favour to post them.

# sexgirlz DOT org
# sikol DOT com
# girls-pissing DOT info
# wet-jeans DOT org
# men-pissing DOT org

I'm working on an idea for XML-RPC auto-passing of spam blacklist round the geeklog network. But it's a way off yet. Bah.

You could add these to the dirty word replacement list as well
Dutch Geeklog sites about camping/hiking:

ScurvyDawg is correct. These sites have been on the MT Blacklist for months. SpamX works! They have tried to post on my one site over 500 times in the last 3 days. SpamX blocked them all. Smile

I have spamx installed and working, I synch the MT Blacklist every day.

Those sites weren't blocked by SpamX until I added them to my personal blacklist (Yes, I have MT Examine installed).

Since they weren't on MT, and he's been persistant, I thought I'd share the entries I'd manualy added.

What IP showed up for did this jerk? He's the same one I posted about here:

http://http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=2&showtopic=47357

He showed up using IPs from ComCast's range, and I've reported him to their abuse email address - not that I expect them to actually DO anything.

I've also reported abuse to the hoster of these sites, atrivo DOT com.

Again, I'm not expecting anything, though, and true to form I have yet to receive a response.

I've ended up turning off the link HTML tag for non-admins.
