More comment spam today. In an effort to thwart this annoying trend I’m publishing an OPML file of IPs from which I’ve received comment .
On a related note, Feedster has a new centralized tracking feature for the same data. Right now you have to manually register the data with Feedster, but perhaps someone will step forward and bake the feature into the tools.
Anything that can help reduce this annoyance has to be a good thing, although care will have to be taken when the IP address could have been spoofed – not very nice to block innocent parties. (I’ve made the same comment at Feedster).
(Having said that, currently I’m adding the IP address of the commentator to Movable Type’s blacklist…) Blacklisting based on the addresses to which they point might be more reliable, and remove the commercial motivation for spamming in the first place.
