[spam-stopper] Continued failure of Zebrality.com spam to be caught

[Michael Hampton]

Yeah, that's just it, it SEEMS legit. What they're doing is pulling feeds
for several hundred blogs, sending trackbacks to every new post on the
blogs, and posting a link to those blog entries for about an hour, just long
enough for a blogger (or Spam Karma 2) to find the link, then they drop the
link. Which is why I blocked them in the first place. It's pretty clear, and
slightly more sophisticated, trackback spam.
