Just last Monday, I posted this piece because my comment activity was acting strange. And the first comment about it- also WEIRD!: Something smells very fishy. I hope it’s not malice because I’m 100% sure I’m not the one who’s going to eat dust. May 18, 2009 Posted by pochp | Uncategorized | random | 7 Comments | Edit # 1. ….!

I never knew spammers would do that, just shows that as time passes by that things change. Us blog owners put in measures to blog spam and spammers find a loop hole some where else. Thanks for the tips, I'm surely going to browse through my comments and take note of my not commenter's details. Wow, this post has been an eye opener.

That's a high percentage. The good thing is that most of them are blocked by filters. Spammers keep on finding new methods and developers keep blocking them, its always a race(and thankfuly, developers are good in it!)

But nothign can be done against humans taking time to fill the captchas and then copy-pasting comment. Google will most likely not launch any customer care soon. You can try replacing blogger's comment system with Disqus ( http://disqus.com/ ) which has better moderation control! (I will not be available for next 2-3 days, so if you have any questions, I would be able to reply only after a few days.)
