With the thousands of "spam" clicks on those today, I don't know why Akismet didn't automatically adapt to them. Blocking the IP range seems to have fixed it for me. Mike — That surprised me too.

Doesn't it work off of a community-powered system? I would think there would have been enough people marking these as spam for it to catch them. Any insights as to why Akismet has been missing these?

They're all coming from 94.102.60 IPs which appear to come from Amsterdam. I've never gotten a single non-spam from that IP range so I just blocked that IP string. Yup, same here.
