Spam Bots: another pain in the ass

Spam Bots: another pain in the ass

As you might have noticed the registering link has disappeared from the top of the page, that's because a few spam bots have crawled into the blog, found the registering interface, registered and attached html pages with the usual spam subject: viagra, grow larger, etc...

I noticed that spam bots made they way into the bliki because when I checked my stats I had 2000+ visitors for this month (I usually receive around 400 monthly) and most of the pages were going directly to a page of a new user.

Anyway I removed the 3 users that were created by bots, along with the attachments and snips they created. Also to avoid further spam bot harassment I've disabled registration. So from now on if you want to comment any posts (you probably won't want anyway) you have two options or you already have a user on the system, or you comment as anonymous.
If by any reason you still want a user in this bliki you can always email me requesting a user.
