I noticed that all of the essay spam on my blog is coming from a large ISP in the Ukraine (194.44.0.0/16) so I blocked it. Presumably they'll figure that out and start using another country, but it should slow them down for a while.

Interesting! I never thought about it from the global perspective. It hadn't occurred to me that the intended audience might be someone living in a non-English-speaking land. If so, mine seems quite an inappropriate blog on which to post, but probably spammers aren't all that discriminating.

Remember, the majority of this world is not able to distinguish good English from the ninety percent accuracy of the spammers. For this majority writing in English is likely a huge effort that may sometimes make trusting a spammer seem worth it, especially in required classes they find boring and full of busywork.

Still wrong, but understandable.

And now that you've used all those words, the spam filter will think you like them, so make it even harder to filter out... :)
