Stats question

Author: B.Gladwyn (5 Feb 10 6:35am)

I've recently installed a honey pot on a site as it is visited by a lot of comment spammers.

Looking the logs I'm getting hundreds of access per day of the form,

GET /comment.asp?donotsubmittext=comment1%2C+http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lisanovalive.com%2Fprofiles%2Fblogs%2Ffuckimg-1+Fuckimg%2C+http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lisanovalive.com%2Fprofiles%2Fblogs%2Fgirl-caned-...etc etc...etc...etc HTTP/1.1

However on my dashboard I see,

# Harvester visits to your site(s): 0
# Recent visits (this month): 0
# Spam traps issued on your sites: 692
# Spam received at your addresses: 0
# Received this week: 0
# Received this month: 0
# Comment spam posts to your site(s): 0
# Traffic from your QuickLinks: 0 visit(s)
# Sites you've protected: 1
# MX entries you've donated: none
# Users you've referred: 0
# IPs You've Commented On: 0
# IPs You're Monitoring: none
# Last update: 2010-02-04

Shouldn't I at least be seeing a non-zero value for "Comment spam posts to your sites"?

The comment spam posts value on my page matches the number of POSTs in my web logs (all 15 of them in 3 months), I think the 'spam traps issue' matches the number of GETs, but I am not sure.
