Spam in blogs

 The post of a blogger who creates no-value-added posts to submit them to other sites.  It is done by automatically posting random comments or promoting commercial services to blogs, wikis, guestbooks, or other publicly accessible online discussion boards. Any web application that accepts and displays hyperlinks submitted by visitors may be a target.
Ajax
Some blog software such as Typo allow the blog administrator to allow only comments submitted via Ajax XMLHttpRequests, and discard regular form POST requests. This causes accessibility problems typical to Ajax-only applications.
Although this technique prevents spam so far, it is a form of security by obscurity and will probably be defeated if it becomes popular enough
