Wed, 17 Jan 2007 19:15:53 +0000 http://behind.aotw.org/2007/01/15/very-bad-behavior/#comment-5315 Brian, I took one look at Bad Behavior and figured it would help tremendously with my Civil War Top 100 site. It has been the target of numerous Turkish referral spammers, so it will be interesting to see how well Bad Behavior works. I also decided to add it to my Movable Type software. I'm not using the logging in either case, but I might try to move ahead with that at some future time. Thanks for pointing this one out! Brett Brian,

More likely longevity. Once you've been out there a while, you get onto <em>happy lists</em> or something and the spammers swarm. I agree Akismet is good at not letting things through. I've never had spam actually publish to the site, as far as I know. @Eric - hope this is a good steer for you. I'm really pleased so far. I did some research in advance and the word on the street on <em>Bad Behavior</em> is positive as well. @CK - good on you. Glad to help. Wonder how long before the bad guys figure BB out? @Harry – I’m not sure it’s a matter of readership. More likely longevity.

I get TONS of spam to my site. Dr. Dave's Sparm Karma catches 95% of it, but some gets through, and if this helps, all the better. We installed it last night. Eric Thanks for the tip, Brian.

Aksimet has only caught 16 spam attempts in 2.5 months, and about 8 of those were me trying to respond to comments (a glitch). Nothing bad has made it through yet.
