Akismet still has to learn this one
WordPress users: Anyone else encountering a different type of spam recently? What they’re doing is putting garbage on line 1, a legit link on line 2, and a spam link on line 3, and it’s slipping by Akismet. They look something like this:
toppingness girtline geocarpic lamiaceae homophylic vermix catholicate pseudatoll
FEC Wants ClintonGore Campaign To Repay Matching Funds [CNN link]

It should be noted that LEP is a relative lightweight when it comes to getting spammed, because I’m not using a WordPress server–almost a year and “only” 790 spam comments. So maybe this has been going on for a while and I’m just out of the loop.
i’m at about 2000+ spam comments now, akismet even gets some of the legit ones people leave that might have a link in them…

That Tacticus guy is suspicious; he knows how to program. But Akismet stopping him from stuffing secret spam on your site…
