Just home for a tiny bit, but I would like to say this: That Blacklist I installed is working quite nicely! I've only had a few instances of spam that have hit me recently, so it may very well be working against the bots... But I don't really have a log to tell me if any have been blocked, I just have to assume. There is one thing I do know for sure though! Bad spam attacks are much easier to clean up now! One spambot left 36 different comments yesterday for the same website, I just added that website to my blacklist and told it to search for comments that fit - voila! All 36 gone in no time!
Oh how joyous automation can be.
