Damn Karin - The blog spammer

    Hello,

    Does this line sound familiar?
    I am Karin, very interesting article that contained the information I was searching for in Google, thanks….

    That line is posted as a comment on each and every wordpress blog i run online with some minuter interval, and from different IP addresses.

    He/She uses free subdomain/url providers to geretae lots of entry pages to this blog http://www.zovijka.info/hair3/ which is nothing but a spam blog as you can see targeting a high paying adsense word.

    Shall i just report to google?

    There is also a John Sr. that does the same spamming with comments leading to his forex related blog.

    I have anti-spam tools, but when you get 100 spam's daily, that also hurts. Thats 100 insertions and 100 deletions from the database anyway..

    Any comments, suggestions are very appreciated.
    Ruslan

    This person is a right pain in the ass and I am getting way too many coming comments from that person and on three different blogs.

    2 weeks ago I created a new blog and within 24 hours I was getting these spam comments.

    Report away as I'll be doing the same.

    Interesting to see the person is using protectfly.com on the whois, another site I seen was registered in Holland.

    Maybe protectfly.com should get an email as well ;)

    As i mentioned, i have that already, along with the Askimaet and some others ;) but i am still confused to have such a person around. That is still server load, adding and removing those comments. Why should i care when i can just report them.. or do it even the evil way.. turn on some proxes, and go click-fraud their adsense till the morning. They will get banned for good. :mad: :D

    When you start thinking of all those kiddies out there stealing, spamming etc.. it just stinks. Why cant people use their a$$es to sit and think how to make something useful.. i know this is not a big issue but i really am in the mood of beating one up till he forgets the nilk he drank one day :mad: :mad: :D

    Ok, back to topic..
    Maybe we can have some members here form kind of a collective abuse report and send google on behalf of the community? Good||bad idea?

    Your not the only one thats in a mood over this and lets just say I would love to give this gobshite a right smack.

    abuzant I am sure if enough noise is made regarding this Google will shut off their Adsense account, the same with the register and host (if found) but if those blogs are making money then thats another things.

    But are you in the SE's at all? There's probably something distinctive about Wordpress that's being targetted: file names, distinctive text, default links out, and so on. What can you customise? Changing the location of the comment submission file might help, if that's possible.
