Checked the front page on Del.icio.us early this mornin' and saw that it had gotten a drive-by spamming:
It looks like it was cleaned up now. This same spam and product has been the bane of my own comment box for something like a year now. So much so, that after persistent attempts, I was finally driven to simply have my spam filter trip on the mere three-letter sequence "you gee gee." It was the only way to stop it.
This is a particularly sophisticated spammer. Radically different IP address each time (so a botnet) absolutely immune to CAPTCHAs (so it outsources them or has a really good POTrace) completely unpredictable in every other way.
All this for feminine footwear? Like its that hot a market?

It's such an astounding waste of life. I maintain a low-traffic WordPress site for a family member that sees one persistent spammer. Akismet identifies all guestbook entries as spam, and moderation is turned on. These messages will never go through, yet they will keep appearing forever.
