Spam problem
About a week ago, I started to receive a lot of spam comments. They look like this:
<p><<em>b</em>> colosseum online casino games play </_b_> go <url>http://www.videocodezone.com/users/colosseum%20online%20cas|colosseum online casino games play</url> or <<em>b</em>> tilt bookiesonline casino </_b_> go <url>http://www.videocodezone.com/users/tilt%20bookiesonline%20c|tilt bookiesonline casino</url> or <<em>b</em>>2003 casino december flash online </_b_> go or <<em>b</em>>2003 casino december flash online </_b_> go <url>http://www.videocodezone.com/users/2003%20casino%20december|2003 casino december flash online</url> or <<em>b</em>> kiwi online casino </_b_> go <url>http://www.videocodezone.com/users/kiwi%20online%20casino|kiwi online casino</url></p>I already saw this and tried mrw_spamkeywords_urlcount and asy_stopdude but that didnt help me. asy_captcha could work but its just to complicated: first the preview, then captcha, then submit comment.
I’m receiving like a 100 spam comments a day, if I leave comments open. For now, I set 6 weeks for duration, and moderate comments (I still receive them so I have to manualy delete them) and that helps, but I would like to open comments for all my articles.
I use 4.0.8.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Edit: actualy I cant find mrw_spamkeywords_urlcount.txt url is broken

Re: Spam problem
Do they all come from the same IP? If they do you can easily ban the user using htaccess with something like
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from 87.xxx.xx.x.xxYiannis

Re: Spam problem
@colak thanks, but they were coming from all different IPs. Still good to know this trick,
@Gocom thanks, I think that will do it for this situation.
Best regards to you all you good people here
