[wp-hackers] Meet the Spaminator!

It's a mashup of Tar Pit & Three Strikes.

A comment that "strikes out" isn't posted, avoiding mod queue clutter.
After striking out, the spammer is tar pitted.
No one is blocked from looking at your site.
Only comes into play when a comment is posted.
Light weight and fast, with minimal use of regular expressions.
The code is shielded from global space, to avoid memory hogging when not
needed.
Some of the default weighting are different from the original 3 Strikes,
mainly lack of a proper referer is weighted heavier, to ward off stupid
spambots.
Returns a HTTP "OK" message to the spammer so that no flags are raised
that your site is fighting spam. But prints a message for humans
explaining what happened.

If you've been using my Spam Words plugin to build up your spam words
list, then you'll be all set to take full advantage of this.

Hint: drop the last quad of any IP addresses in your spam words list
(111.222.333.444 becomes 111.222.333) so that out newest holdem friend's
botnet will get blocked more effectively.
