Finally installed MT-Blacklist tonight. Let’s hope it lives up to the hype and stops the comment spam dead in its tracks. I’d only had a few instances of comment spam until New Year’s Eve when I noticed about 80 comments advertising porn and celeb photos littering the back-entries of StudioGlyphic. Since then I’ve been deluged with hundreds of comments. It got so bad I turned on comment moderation. Now that Blacklist is installed, comments are back to being unmoderated. If I’m still hit with the spam, I may have to invoke the input code thing that WWdN and Bill Rini have on their blogs.
Me too. I’m upgrading to the new version of MT soon and doing the Blacklist thing as well. It was so nice to come home from vacation and find comment spam waiting for me.
MT-Blacklist works really well for a little while, and then it becomes a chore to keep up. The simplest solution is probably to go ahead and install the code thing you talked about. If I weren’t so lazy I’d already have it installed myself.
