Joho the Blog: Comment Spam Flood

January 13, 2004

Comment Spam Flood

I just got 500+ comment spams (mainly for zoo sex, apparently) from someone who changes IP addresses every 3 msgs and changes the offensive link in every message. This defeats the MT Blacklist program I've been relying on.

Help! I don't have time to manually strip out 500 spams. I will have to close comments (if I can figure out how to do so for all previous entries).
