Got enough testers for now. Thanks! I’m looking for a few people who do (or used to) get a lot of comment spam who are willing to turn off all of their other spam prevention methods and try a new plugin I’m testing out. Drop me a note on my contact page with details about your blog and how much spam you get. I’ve been dogfooding it for the past few weeks and it’s been working great. ¶

Interesting… I’m also working on a new plugin under the Hashcash brand, but which is a complete departure from previous efforts. Mine is probabilistic–spammers have a 1e-9 chance of getting through…

Wanna let us in on the secret behind this glorious new plugin, or are you saving that for the big announcement?
And why did you comment on your own post? Momentary amnesia? Forget that photomatt.net is actually you?

No secrets, just an old idea done a little differently.

Elliot Back,
A Monte-Carlo spam detector, eh?
Matt, it is still a secret, since we all don’t know what it is

i thought that the contact us or order details of spam sites if filled in with rubbish words (copy and paste) including the credit card details, using as many words as it will take – will give them a headache for a change, fill in as many as you can and get your own back, the more people that do it the better, even if everyone just fillled it in once. somebody must have thought of this already?
