Spam comments.

Do to the load of spam comments I am seriously thinking about disabling the comment system.... I got 30 this morning alone. I have spent the time I usaully spend updating deleting spam comments. sigh....

I know there are some add-on I can use I just do not have time right now to do a core update... I have been needing to update MT and my style. This is just frustrating me.

Dear Spammers, stop killing my love for this site. You crime does have victims.

what are you talking about dear? I am so very confused.

Since anyone can post a comment spammers have taken to using programs to search the web looking blogs. Once they find one the program posts a spam comment with a bogus email and the address to a web site they want you to visit. The most prolific of these asshats is a site pedaling penis enlargement pills. Normally I go to heydan and delete these as soon as they are posted. I have been deleting these at the rate of about four a week. Today that number jumped to 35 just today. Most people do not see them because the program is not very smart. Most comments are posted to very old post of mine.

Hey I use MT-Blacklist and it's pretty easy to set-up and use. I love me some Blacklist. Here is the link - http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/
