New Security Features
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 21I am using some new security features to stop those accursed spammers. In the process some of you might notice that you have to enter a little hard to read picture thing if you come to the site. Please forgive my security drones, they are robots, and take a while to get to know who is a person and who isn’t.
The good news however is that the amount of spam comments and the amount of spam bloggers has gone WAY down. If you blog here you should also notice that your spam content has gone down as well. Hurray!

Spam Attack, .info Email Accounts Ban Hammered
Written by Boston Biker on Jan 22Yesterday and today I got a couple hundred spam accounts try to sign up…annoying. From now on you will no longer be able to sign up with a .info email account, I am sorry if this causes any trouble for anyone, but gmail is free and is a fine email system, I suggest using one of those accounts to sign up.

Stopping Spammers
Written by Boston Biker on Nov 18You might not realize it but evil spammers love to sign up for blogs witch they only use for evil. Evil I tell you! I am going to be rolling out some new spam blocking techniques over the next couple of days. The problem is that these methods might catch a couple real people who want a real bostonbiker.org account. If you are one of these real people that seem to have been caught in these spam blocking methods you can contact me and I will fix it for you. Otherwise if you are a dirty spammer please go away, no one likes you.

Die Spammers Die! (Part 2)
Written by Boston Biker on May 20Ok so a while ago I informed you all that I was going through and deleting spam, making it harder for spammers to send you spam comments, and in general cleaning house (I deactivated a lot of older blogs with no content, if you signed up for one and want it back let me know).
Most everyone’s site now has a spam blocker installed on it, so you shouldn’t have any more problems with spam comments, just be sure to check your comments tab once in a while for false positives (good comments marked as spam), these spam blockers get smarter the more you “prune them” so if spam gets through mark it as spam, and if good comments get marked as spam, mark them as good. It can be tricky as spammers are getting very good at sneaking spam in…
Anyway, hope this makes your blogging experience here at BostonBiker.org better, if you have any questions drop them in the comments.
