Human Waste

To those of you who've been attempting to spam the site ...

Black-listed:

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

iptables -A INPUT -s $YourIp -j DROP

Have a nice day.

Furthermore due to high number of crawls and subsequent posts by spam robots I've been forced in in to a position where I now have to real-time blackhole groups of IPs, filter posts by bayesian filter classification, and use captcha image checks to make sure posters aren't in fact spiders. I've also implemented a system that monitors those of you who perform an excessive number of POST operations -- you're now automatically added to the blacklist.

You'll eventually be removed, but if the posts pick up again, the next ban will be exponentially longer.

Thanks, mmkay.
