 * I’ve had my blog up for a little over a week, registration is required to make
   a post. Already, I’m getting dozens of posts for rape, viagra, you name it. I
   have it set to moderation, but what I don’t get is how they are doing it. They
   are always posting to the same two posts of mine, which are little animations
   I made for my graphics group. Each post contains 2 IP addressess as well. It 
   also appears these people are making the posts as guests, meaning they are not
   registered. If I have it set that you have to be registered to make a post, how
   is this being done? It’s really irritating what a sex-craved world we live in.

 * Welcome to the wild world of trackback spam. Forcing people to register to comment
   won’t affect trackback spam (and will probably limit comments, but that’s for
   a different day).
 * Here’s a standard response:
 * Install and activate Akismet _or_ Spam Karma 2.
    Then install and activate Bad
   Behavior.
