Graphs: When Spammers Attack

These charts show when spammers like to attack the most. These charts use averages dating back to January 28th, 2008, when KB Spam Blacklist starting operating on this site. These times are in my server's time zone, where it is currently 1:27 pm.

The red line indicates the number of spams stopped, on average, for each hour of each day. The blue line is the same data with smoothing applied (to make the trends more obvious).

Please read before commenting: Because my real job has me swamped at the moment, I am not supporting my plugins at this time. Sorry. This may last several weeks.

If you have a bug report, feature request, or other general feedback about a plugin, please leave a comment—but do not expect an immediate response. If you are requesting help, though, please check the plugin's documentation thoroughly rather than ask your question as a comment.

Thank you for your understanding.
