Netaloid's anti-spam petition
Typepad managed to keep most spam out, but I've been struggling to keep comment and trackback spam out of my WordPress and Movable Type blogs. Trackback spam is especially evil.
Netaloid has a petition calling on the Interactive Gaming Council to stop spam from online gambling sites. The IGC says it's against spam. According to the petition: "one individual enterprise is responsible for 80% or more of the spam we are receiving daily." In asking bloggers to sign the petition, Netaloid writes:
Netaloid concludes that the online casino operators and their umbrella association are likely to take the matter of the Poker Spamster more seriously if presented with a petition from, hopefully, numours blog owners who’ve been affected by this person/persons over the past few weeks or months.
Check it out and sign if you agree.
Since I've renamed my mt-trackback.cgi, the vast majority of the 52,000 404 errors my site has returned have been requests for, you guessed it, mt-trackback.cgi. Bizarre.
