Yes, I’m getting it, too. But googling that IP brings back a LONG list of similar “huh?” complaints from all kinds of CMS and blog systems, not just Word Press (like mine).

Spam Karma 2, Akismet, and Bad Behavior are catching all of it, but what a waste of bandwidth!

Maybe its the Akismet folks ensuring job security, LOL.

Just kidding! I-heart-Akismet!

I’m seeing this too… And good idea on using .htaccess to block that IP. Either way, it’s totally frustrating! But also quite interesting that all of the other people complaining about this are also running WordPress. I wonder if this spammer is afflicting people using something other than WordPress as their CMS?

Yeah, I hate doing that but you have a good point. I hadn’t considered my monthly data limit.

Yes, I’m seeing this too. This spammer is one of those responsible for me having to pay extra because I exceeded my monthly data limit. I’ve now blocked access for this IP in my .htaccess …
