Fight Against Comment Spam
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.
Here's something interesting: I just got one on my Sticky Navs post that I thought was from someone on DW (the reason turning off anon is not an option for me) before I opened it and saw the comment text, because the title was in English and seemed to be someone having issues with installing a code.
"Mother of god! I did not realize it could be so hard :-/
I've found loads of helpful information on your site especially this page. Thank you for posting.

So that was a new one. Usually the English ones are about totally unrelated things and very obviously spam, so maybe they're starting to change up their automated output.

(I think I got it from unsplash!)
(Ugh, yes. I use Unsplash for so many of my demos!)
(You know I love your codes, though.)
(Pshhh, ty boo! ♥)
But yeah, idk. Sometimes it seems like there's a pattern; others it doesn't, so maybe there's two independent sets of bots.
