“This site has nasty hidden script”

Yesterday I found some (around 20) irrelevant medical ads in my spam-trap

Today I got a comment:
“This site has –expletive deleted– nasty hidden script (which prevents me from spamming)” - wrote some exasperated kiddie-comment-spammer in his comments.

You bet!

It appears that the spammers have resorted to trackback spamming to get around captcha. Unfortunately for them there are additional layer of defences which prevented their medical supplies & other irrelevant ads from getting through.

Its such a fun watching them hit the wall and crash, try again and crash… you get the picture

If he(she) is intelligent he would read my earlier posts on the subject to get an idea of the layers of defenses. I don’t believe in security by obscurity except for limited period.

Having said that I don’t believe it is fail-safe, none is. However if they become more intelligent you can bet I will take additional measures to thwart them.

And to reiterate I wouldn’t adopt no-follow as it is a disincentivizes comment posting. Neither would I stop providing active links from comments, unless absolutely forced to do so.
