I have had it with Spam comments

If Vijay Menezes, Trade World, B Wing, 10th Floor, Kamla Mills Compound, Lower Parel, Mumbai 400013 isn't the guy who has been spamming my blog recently then maybe he could try to get of hold of whoever it is using his computers to do so and ring their bloody neck for me!

Excellent!

I went through a hellish week where more than 300 spam comments a day were getting through all the Typepad protections and into my moderation queue. I started manually blocking the IPs and after manually entering 420 IP addresses, the attack subsided.

If you want my list of blocked IPs, let me know. I wish Six Apart let users share their block lists.

I wonder if the legal definition of spam includes postings to blogs. If so surely a group of people suffering could bring an action together?

Interesting idea Raj. It has certainly been a plague in the past. Six Apart have shielded us from a lot of it over the years but it seems to be getting worse again.
