So like everyone else with a WordPress blog, we’re used to getting a moderate amount of comment spam. However, as of late, we have been getting huge amounts of obnoxious comment spam lol. So we’ve spent some time on a script that will identify comment spammers (no matter how sneaky!) and automatically ban their IP address from our servers.
