"Blocking referrers from Google that have the phrase "post a comment below" made a dent)"
Can you elaborate? I haven't heard this technique (I don't personally have a lot of need for spam fighting), and I'm very curious as to what you mean.

- larrik 16y agoAh, that makes sense, and is rather clever. Thanks
