We have taken additional action against the comment spam that has been happening including banning certain text from comments as well as limiting the rate anonymous users can comment. Hopefully this will make a big impact and keep you guys from having to put up with this annoying problem.

  Yeah! My newer posts are getting it way worse, but I have two (always the same two) old code posts from years ago that keep getting them too. I have no clue why those two are the outliers, but for some reason the bots love them.

    Same here, they *really* like my 4 year old + post about playing Skyrim. Heh.

      They just really want to talk about Skyrim with you, don't judge! :P
      
      But yeah, idk. Sometimes it seems like there's a pattern; others it doesn't, so maybe there's two independent sets of bots.
