Did we also mention that we get a lot of spam as well? :). IronBlogger gets a lot of Viagra and nasty links for spam comments.

But seriously, we get loads of spam too. Our blog and sitewide comment system are all my own code, so it works slightly differently to most prewritten scripts. We moderate all comments through a control panel and uses captcha. The majority are massive lists of html links. Which is great, because I actually use a modified version of bbcode, so we get a control panel of stuff like: <a href=&quote;http://example.com&quote> Oh, and massive "BAN IP" button, which bans them from the site forever. According to my privacy policy, I will happily give away those IPs to whoever asks. :) Nice post.

Yup. You read that right. That number was taken right from my blog's Askimet page. Sly http://slyvisions.com According to my Askimet page, my blog has gotten TOO MANY spam. :P
