RE: My guestbook is being spammed
This happend to me aswell, i done the rename thing wich works for only a little while. Blocking the IP's is no option because there are way to many of them..they are bots using IP's of others. In the end i decided to take the guestbook off in total.
The only solution to prevent these kinda posts in total is to have a guestbook with captcha (and just like you i didn't know how to integrate that either). Another solution wich would help a little is floodcontrol (time needed in between new posting), most bots will leave.
Now i have a shoutbox thingie wich only holds as many posts as i tell it to, after that they get deleted..it also has floodcontrol wich prevents bots from continuously spamming. A shoutbox aint quite the same as a full guestbook but well atleast it's something.
Ohh yea another thing: things that attract spammers are possibilities to leave their webadress (free advertising/linking).
