I just got a new kind of comment SPAM, well, actually, I got it a while back, but I just checked it out to see what it really was.  The  thing was a trackback to one of my posts here, but the URL for where the trackback went to was no more than a rerouter that immediately took me to another site that was nothing but a blank page.

It’s getting really annoying when SPAMMERS are targeting everything you make posts about and just generally playing hell with your ability to have a site where people can leave comments, but now it’s getting to where even letting someone leave a trackback to your articles is opening the flood gates for the SPAMMERS.

I get most of this stuff from one country in particular, so I don’t suppose that there is a WordPress Plugin out there anywhere that lets you refuse comments and trackbacks from entire countries, is there?  I really hate to just say”No” to everyone in the country because of one jerk, but that one jerk sends 300+ commens about sex at some of my blogs in a single day and the things change just enough that the SPAM filter on WP does not seem to catch them as being SPAM.

A word filter would work… I don’t suppose there is a WordPress SPAM filter Plugin that filters out all comments that have set words in them is there? :::goes off to hunt for one:::
