By the way - I’m going to block any new registrations from China. Last night a spammer got in and dumped 10 comments; luckily one of the monitors saw it happening and deleted them almost immediately. And it was apparently a real person, not a bot.

This one got through, but I block out spam attempts from China on a very regular basis — referrer spam, attempts to use the contact form, etc.

There’s almost no valid traffic coming from that country at all.
