My site gets about 15,000 spam submissions a month. You are able to make a submission without being logged in but you have to signup as soon as you do for it to be published. Spammers don't do this, so the spam doesn't get published, yet they continue on regardless. I also get spam signups who just signup for an account, some of the more sophisticated accounts will verify their email address but then they don't do anything. Very few ever come back again (if they do within a certain period of time their IP block gets extended). For some reason, no spammer has ever put these two scenarios together to successfully spam my site. I wonder how they found it and why they continue to try, surely if you notice your spamming isn't working, you take the site off your list, or if you a really determined, try a bit harder. Edit: What has annoyed me is, as soon as I became aggressive at tackling the spam (even though none ever got published) by 403'ing their IP's, they started spamming other sites with links to mine. Even with my explanations to Google about how it is not my doing, my site has been penalised, so I guess they win that way. |
