Hello! Well, I've noticed different type of spammer, that I divide in different categories: - Ignorant: those who send tons of trash an links. they are simply ignorant, because they "ignore" the fact that the site is running an AntiSpam filter that easily blocks their fake comments. - Stupid: because they spam from a fixed IP address over and over again. Too easy to be stopped, too easy to send a mail to their provider at their abuse mail. - Tester: those who sends spam with link to google or somewhere else, who usually try to test your Anti Spam to understand if your defences are high. - Sharp: those who adapt their spam in order to try to trick the anti spam.
Of course some times some real comments are set as spam because of their "granularity"... well in order to stop 100, one can be a false positive.
I think that no real efforts has been made to stop the spam. The spammers are really p*****g me off...
Cheers
