I’ve noticed an increase in comment spam in the past few weeks - not much, but a bit. Of course, since I have moderation turned on, the chances of a piece of comment spam actually making it through is zero. Which doesn’t bother me, as every piece of spam that someone attempts to post here is a failed spam attempt and a waste of their time, which effectively means less spam posted elsewhere. And since none of the links ever make it to a live state, there’s absolutely no benefit to be gained from continued attempts to post comment spam as it’s the same as dumping links into /dev/null.
