I get loads of spam
And I don’t know why. I mean, look at this section of my logs. The 2250 is the number of unique non-spambot people who visited. They visited some 28,000 pages this month. The 474,479 is the number of spam bot attempts. I have whole ip ranges blocked to prevent these nutcases. Here’s a little warning to anyone else using Wordpress. The comment moderation queue stops working after 16,000 comments. It just doesn’t open.
If it’s too late and you’ve ended up in this situation, you can try marking them all as spam using phpmyadmin and sql.

You must have signed up with all sorts of traffic exchange networks. Serves you right.

I wish I had, atleast then it would make sense. This is just plain ridiculous. And all these bots come with fake referrer ids, as if they’re advertising to the guy reading the logs. It’s weird.
