Good link. I’ve been using WangGuard for some time now and it has been fairly effective. Lately I want to say more have been getting through… but that is only my perception based on nothing tangible! The name is unfortunate as the article mentions, but that always gives me a chuckle when I go in to do maintenance…! 😉
I think I’ll search down the BuddyPress Honeypot and give it a try. The methodology sounds good with the hidden registration fields, however I’m starting to think that some sploggers are actually real people who are willing to fill out the forms manually, or maybe with help from a bot of some sort. The WangGuard results lately make me suspicious this could be the case. The number of hits from countries with very cheap labour increases my suspicion.
