Interview with a blog spammer and more
The Register in UK has managed to get an interview with a blog spammer who lives in London.
Notice how he seems to know the other 7-8 main linkspammers.
----------
And here's a post from an admin who admits to having turned on proxying by accident. By now it's turned off, in case anyone is getting ideas. But his earlier post before he figured it out was very funny in a train wreck sort of way.
And here's his pal's post about it, and some .htaccess rules that he didn't explain properly.
---------
And finally, an article explaining open proxies.

I just wanted to say I really appreciate your efforts. I too have attempted to track down the comment spammers, going so far as to create an advertising policy that legally obligated them to $2,500/day per-advert that they spammed on my site. Of course, this had no impact whatsoever, and now I've had to completely turn off comments on my blog,....which kind of defeats the purpose of a blog.
I hate these people.
I applaud your efforts, and I wish i had more time in the day to help defeat this scourge.
