Apologies for any inconvenience the insane amount of spam may be causing. These attacks usually last two or three days, but this one has been going on for over two weeks now. I try to clean it up as efficiently as possible. If I pump up the volume on my spam filters some of your comments will get banned, so unfortunately I can’t be harsher in that respect. I appreciate your patience and I hope this goes away soon.

Armin’s comment is:
Yup, we are running it. And it does stop a huge amount of comment spam. But the problem with this latest wave is that the IP address changes with each comment and there are no links included at all -- which is usually what triggers the filters. It's just empty spam. If at least they could point everyone to poker and porn sites, there would be some benefit to them.
