No blacklists in the spamming software?
Remember the Bulgarians (chief texas holdem spammer) quit spamming my blog after one of them found his name on my blog? And then it started up again after a few days?
I wonder…
What if he removed my site from the queue. But if the software is configured to pick up new blogs from Google or Technorati or another feed place, then chances are my site got picked up automatically again.
So even though the spammer didn’t want to stay my human lab rat, his software isn’t sophisticated enough to include a blacklist.
I’m coming up with this theory because of something another blogger said. He’d e-mailed some spammer, and the spam stopped for a while, only to start up again, slowly.
