Stop Spam!
As well as developing domains, I’ve also been redeveloping some of my neglected sites. Unfortunately, some are in quite a state due to the amount of spam they’ve received. Why did this happen? Simple, there was no protection to prevent these morons’ scripts from submitting their pornography, diet, and pharmacy drivel.
One site’s database is something like 95% full of spam, which is making it horrendous to pluck out the actual real content.
I know there’s no excuse, even if these sites are small and receive little traffic. I should have sorted better protection out, like now I know that just adding a bit of code to ask a question on submission does the trick.
So if you have a site that has unprotected submission forms, best get them protected straight away!
