Comment Problems

Over the past few days my weblog has been repeatedly hit by a crapflooder, using randomly-generated text and a large number of URLs for either news or entertainment media sites, presumably in an attempt to flood my blacklist with junk and render it useless.

I have been unable to derive a regular expression that can filter out all his garbage without causing a lot of false positives. Short of disabling comments altogether, I've unfortunately had to implement some extremely aggressive filters, which will have to remain in place until this bozo gets bored and gives up.

So if you've tried to comment, and found your comment blocked, that's why. Replace whatever word or domain it takes exception to, and try again. If you just give up, the spammers win.

Sorry for the inconvenientce
