Anti-Spam Measures
velospace now has some additional anti-spam measures. The past 24 hours has featured two rounds of scripted prescription spam bots. Each time the bot created a new account, added 250+ spam comments in about a minute, and then left town.
To combat this type of drive-by spamming I added a 60 second delay between comment posts. There are lots of other tools like this in use on the site, and I may roll this out to other types of content, or increase the time period, if spam continues to be a problem.
Any questions or ideas, drop me a note.
