Redirects are all the vogue
I’ve been following trails of spammers who’ve been spamvertizing URL’s on one of the free forum sites. And while I was doing that, I followed some URL’s that didn’t appear to forums.
What I found, was that some (probably more and more) spammers specialize in using redirects. They’ll basically test out any free service to see if they can find a working javascript redirect.
I’ve found four different ways of redirecting from blogspot! And that’s just for starters.
Basically, if you’ve got a free service of any kind, you must disable user entered javascript. No ifs or buts about it.
And yes, that will probably break some nice designs you’ve got on the service. But it’s either that or getting overrun with spammers. Because they WILL keep changing their scripts to keep ahead of you.

To Dima,
I seriously doubt that, considering how the logs for your IP looks! You seem to have access to spammer toys…

You really need to teach me how to read the logs and figure out who spammers are!
While I do have Bad Behavior and SK2 for my WP blog, I still would like to reduce the amount of spam I receive!
