comment spam

Over the last few days I have had close to 100 comment spam comments. i delete them and add the IP to my ban list. What else can I do?

1 Use MT Blacklist. It lets you easily find the spam and block it forever by domain name or other keywords.

2 Since I started closing comments on old posts, my comment spam has gone down to zero.

(Still get LOTS of trackback spam, though.)

3 I think I've found how to patch MT to block trackback spam, and I'm going to try it this weekend.

Fingers crossed...

4 Why dont you use a security code. At least you wont get any automated spam.

Closing old post (after 1 month) is also a very good idea.
