Forenoon watch, 3 bells (9:51 am)
Well, I noticed that all of a sudden, I'm logging quite a few 403 HTTP response codes (that's Forbidden, if you didn't know). Where are they coming from?, I asked myself. Peeking into my log files, I found that, sure enough, those evil mthmarketing chumps have been trying to post comment spam on my blog.
I stopped caring who loses access to this blog, if I get comment spam I ban the entire network their ISP belongs to by CIDR (this CIDR and not that CIDR).
For anyone else that's fed up with spam comments in their blog, go see my new article about How to stop blog comment spam.
