Spam mavens are original, indeed. Just as all of us try to find and develop new software and technology to block the annoying content spammers send to our e-mail addresses, they have found an equally novel way to bring spam to us without having to enter our inboxes.

I wish that alastair would have written a more substantive article on how his AJAX comment system actually works. http://www.liquidx.net/blog/2006/10/31/struggle-with-comment-spamming-ended Play with the comments or something on this blog, it's really really cool and according to alastair, has ended his spam problem.

The one thing that both ajax and captcha don't solve is the manual spammers.... and there are still a lot of them.

If you have a really big site, and you don't review comments or have some type of anti-spam service like akismet, spam is still going to flow, and you aren't going to catch it.
