I find it hard to believe I'm the only one getting spam in Chinese characters ;) How do you guys handle this kind of spam? For the moment, I blacklisted the 163 dot com and 126 dot com domains, without feeling too much guilt. It's not a perfect solution though, as I'm excluding a few posters on the LKML (for example).
