Bluetrait

A few days ago ucosty moved over to his new custom written blogging tool, netBlog. One of the driving forces for this move was the excessive amount of spam his was receiving. Although wordpress has some spam filtering it isn't enough. The fact that people are now getting hundreds of spam messages each day, people don't want to spend the time deleting them.

Spam also degrades the web site. Some of the language used in these spams messages is enough to turn anyone off a website. The author also losses credibility because of these comments. It isn't their fault that the spam is there, but it is their website. Filtering systems in businesses that track key words will often block these sites too. No one wants to go to a website advertising illegal underaged sex.

So anyway, matthew (aka ucosty) is now running his custom script which should be free from this junk. He is also planing to release his script too. Great work.
