Yet Another Blog Spam Post

This morning I get to my desk and notice that I have a lot of comments to my posts.

Yes, mostly comment spam.

I decided to blog about it and I saw that more than one person had the same idea. If I were a spammer I would be getting scared round about now. There's an army of skilled (and very pissed off) developers out there baring their teeth.

I for one am not going to stand for this anymore. And no, I'm not suggesting comment filters and captcha image checks. That's being defensive. I think the key is to take them down - talk to their ISPs or clients and get them disconnected. Yes, they'll pop back up, but we'll take them down again and again and again.
