I Think I Made The Spammers Angry

If you’ve been paying attention recently, you’d know that I’ve been fighting off a new wave of obnoxious comment/trackback spammers bent on peddling their idiotic home mortgages and poker tournaments for free using bandwidth I pay for. My inbox was flooding with SpamKarma digest messages faster than I could delete them, so I finally decided to take some long overdue actions: I upgraded my SK install to Spam Karma 2 and installed the wonderfully-effective Bad Behavior plugin. Color me impressed.
Bad Behavior is working like a charm, having turned back 14,976 spam attempts against my blog in the last three days (as of this writing). It almost makes me a little disappointed, though, because BB is so effective that SK2 has largely been sitting around, twiddling its thumbs. It’s got nothing to do, no comments to moderate into oblivion because BB targets and eliminates spammers’ requests before they can even reach the system.
So keep trying, you mouth-breathing troglodytic morons. I’ll sit back and watch my BB logs fill up with your impotent attempts.
Muhahahahahhhh.

I’d do that after their burned, scarred, remains had stopped smoking — and then I’d hit them with a shovel. They are to mankind what a gelatinous mass of camel vomit is to gourmet foods. […]
