YES, I've noticed more stuff going into the Spam folder over the past 48 hours or so. I had an automated spammer carpet bomb one of the sites today, and the new controls got all of them. I know the human spammers are much more difficult. Being able to leyeball these and mark the IP addresses for blacklisting would rock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Appreciate the attention you're giving the problem. I've noticed other services are also experiencing a  sharp uptick in human-entered spam.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Baskind</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:06:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Human link spammers</title><link>https://disqus.com/home/discussion/disqus/human_link_spammers/#comment-3949092</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Chris. We're aware of the influx of human spammers and I agree that the tools do need to be better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We recently released a few changes to handle spam more appropriately. Is that helping you at all?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">obscurelyfamous</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:39:09 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
