I, and probably the rest of the world as well, am being hit with spam in the comments at this moment. Over 100 comments a day are intercepted by Akismet.
It seems that all the spamjerks have found a way of creating userprofiles on public websites/forums/blogs and are referring to those in the spam. Below are some examples URL's which were active at the time of me writing this:
- http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/profile.jspa?editMode=true&userID=678271
- http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/profile.php?id=699061
I send an e-mai lto Lonely Planet descibing their problem. Let's hope that they fix it soon.
In the mean time; All hail Akismet!!!!
