Banning...fail
Well, seems that whichever host was spamming the site is still doing it. I'm now stripping the html tags out, but the content is still there...time for a rethink!

IP Ranges banned
To save hassle, I did some log analysing and established a couple of key IP address ranges which have been 'overutilising' shall we say, the site.
These have now been banned in an attempt to remove the horrendous array of crap getting plastered into the comments option! I may just put in a registration only section if this doesn't work!
Should really find time to lock it down properlyy but haven't had the time lately.

New 'Mobile Marketing' website
Earlier in the week I finished the initial coding for a new website http://www.mobilemarketingmachine.co.uk
Pretty graphics curtousy or Theo. With the new site design it will be added to the portfolio etc
After a while out of coding, I'm going to get back into things again...watch this space!

Lockdown imminent
Well....the addition of a hidden field to comment posts doesn't seem to be trapping/stopping whichever bots are hitting the site.
I'm now going to monitor IP addresses access and ban a few, maybe entire ranges. Aside from that, I will most likely re-do the site soon and only allow registered posting...what's the net coming too :(

Further Spam/Bandwidth Issue...
Previous attempts to remove spam bots from pilling my 'news comments' area with adverts for dubious 'male health' products have failed.
I have now implemented a system to use a hidden comment field in the hope they will populate this and get stopped from adding any more.
If this doesn't work, I will remove public posting and allow only registered users.
