I’m just going to come out and say it: Spammers ought to burn in hell. The amount of time they consume filling our lives with their relentless efforts to get some traffic is underhanded, pathetic, and down right wrong. At Hadithuna we have the joy of having to deal with more than one type of spammer. Over the past year or so of being live, we’ve watched as droves of spammers have created spamming blogs–referred to as “splogs” in the community–and automatically posted a slew of link-laden garbage posts in the blink of an eye.

The recent upgrade to a newer version of Wordpress, left our old comment spam-fighting plugins incompatible, and us defenseless to the barrage of comment spammers you’ve all had to duly moderate since the upgrade. Hopefully now all that is about to change.

Hadithuna just deployed a Bayesian (fancy word for artificially learning) spam-fighting plugin that stops spam dead in its tracks. We’ve only been piloting it for a short while, but already we’re starting to feel pretty good about it. But the important thing is that you feel good about it. Which is why we’re asking everyone to report back about any irregularities or inconsistencies in posting and commenting on their blogs. We’ve got some relentless imbeciles to fend off, and with your help, we may be able to keep the rabbits at bay.
