Over the last two months we've started to get comment spam on GB v2.03 (with Captcha). Just thought I'd let you know.

Hi!

What's the URL to your GB? How often did you get spam entries? Do you think the messages were posted by a human or spambots?

Hi Tri Dung,

URL to your GB?: http://www.estherkamkar.com/cgi-bin/fpg.cgi?lang=english

How often?: About 10 of them appeared within a short time of each other.

Human or spambots?: I didn't notice which.

I blocked the IPs. Since then no more spam.

Thanks.

You can:

- block a block of IPs by adding 123.456.789 instead of 123.456.789.xxx.
- use the other anti-spam methode by adding your own distorted images

I think it was a human.
