The Spammers have a new weapon
The blog-spammers appear to have a new weapon - they now read the page code in to establish what they need to send to the server to bypass the traps based on not coming from the correct page on the site.
After weeks of being spam-free, it looks like I’ll have to try more stuff to get past this (or finally make the switch to Wordpress…)

Testing, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eitheeen, nineteen
Another test, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eitheeen, nineteen

Yes, I’m using this post and it’s comments to do some testing - please ignore - and that 18 word limit is actually fairly long!
