I'm doing some back-end work on the site today.
This site's anti-spam setup is doing a great job at keeping spam from being displayed on the site while hopefully not interfering with the experience of legitimate readers.
The problem at this point is that the attempts at comment spam are are actually starting to account for more site traffic than actual visitors are. The referrer spam also has pretty much made my referrer stats useless too.
Because of that, I'm working on blocking spammers' access to the site now. There are some interesting tools and ideas out there and I'm going to be trying some of them out starting today. Hopefully, it won't interfere too much with any of the regulars getting here.
