Geeklog Forums

I have several Geeklog sites and all of them are using SpamX to control comment spam. It usually works great but this week I have have been hit with thousands of comment spam posts of a new type.

All of the comments have only one link and it is a nonsense word that shows up. The links they are attached to are just 6 to 15 random letters and .com. I was deleting them and adding them to my personal blacklist and they were posting new ones as fast as I could delete them.

I finally figured out there was a pattern in the links and got them stopped by adding *bnm.com to the blacklist. I still have not figured out how they got all those different letter combinations to go the same site but at least the spam is stopped for now.

I just wanted to post this in case anyone else gets hit by these new spammers.

I had the same problem last week as well, and found a similar solution. You are not alone, not sure if that is a good thing or not but you are not alone.
