what's it with wp sites lately?
I’ve been receiving a constant stream of spam referrers from wordpress sites.
Is anybody else having the same complains?
Is there a new spam referrer plugin for wp?

Nope. But Mircosoft at search.live.com have recently acquired a very powerful one, with a megalomanic dictionary to trick you into visiting them.

Adobe is also guilty as we get spam referring from the acrobat reader download page.
You would think that companies like that would appear to play it proper.

If in doubt, apply Hanlon’s Razor.

Good idea I normally just think of the seven dirty words but not as analytically as George Carlin does:)

They all seem to be using wp. Searched google to check if there is a spam referrer plugin for wp but all the results I found was about fighting spam. Maybe there’s a script which somebody managed to include() in wp. Whatever.

Sorry to keep on insisting on this but we are currently aslo receiving spam referring from delicious which I thought that it would be impossible.
