John, I can’t post my spam, and I’m from Minnesoooooota – Land of 10,000 Lakes, 24,209 Swamps, 2 Fish, and Hormel’s Spam — WTF? 🙂
Ummm, NO…
Im having fun, sending you notices of Spam being posted on the back pages…
Its fun…
I’ll do my best. Death to spam. Wait a minute — isn’t the “I get no Spam” ad right here in the left column?? 🙂
I get no EMAIL SPAM ..it has little to do with the blog spam
It’s blocking everything I type.
Getting this error:
Regex ID: 30547 (Actually i am not an active serfer) appears to be an invalid regex string! Please fix it in the Blacklist control panel.

IF’
You read the RSS, its been hit again…
I would suggest LOCING all those threads/posts up after 1 week to 1 month… They are on all the Older stuff…which no one see’s
This is the comment that I got when I tried posting
so I guess you must have some issues

But I thought John C Dvorak.org/blog didn’t get spam? 😀
I was being blocked from posting on the blog yesterday with the same error message as #6.
If this message gets saved, I suppose it is fixed for me for now.
It’s blocking my comments…I swear, I’m not a spammer!!
I’ve already contacted you, since I wasn’t able to post yesterday. I’m curious though…why not have a bot-test instead for posting?
As far as I’ve heard, the “graphic with weird-looking letters/numbers and having to type that” works pretty well, doesn’t it?
Just got the same as #6 while commenting on AMD’s hardware DRM. Don’t know what word in my comment could have triggered the filter

???
I can post links in my posts
same as #6
I got a spam blocked message similar to Petrov’s earlier – and now I can post without going through the Captcha system. Yay!
#6 – I got the same message when I tried to post a URL yesterday.
I tried to post a regular message and got the same reply as #6
I also got a spam blocked message earlier, exactly the same as 6 and 10.
If this gets saved, I guess it’s fixed.
1. Minnesota is where spam comes from? I think I speak for all military veterans by this comment: Lets turn Minnesota into a glass parking lot, now!
But the little green thingies irritate more than the Capcha, or is that some kind of trade-off?
Looks like ECA can still post, so I’m afraid it’s still broken.
#6 same here
It blocks everything I tried to post so far – let see if this will post
I don’t even get the Capcha just the error message.
I got the same error message just now
same as #6. let me roar, dammit! filter me not! ROAR!
I am still having trouble posting, I get the same Regex id:30547. I promise, its not spam either. Lets see if I can post this
