Nitwits with new computers for Christmas

Am I the only one who got mega-spammed comments this morning?

It sounds like someone got a new computer for Christmas and figured they'd act a complete damn fool with it.

1 Happened to me last night...I shut the comments down as I was deleting the comments, and haven't gotten any more.

2 I got crapflooded - which is slightly different, but even more annoying. Just random gibberish - it's designed to clog up MT Blacklist to the point that it doesn't work anymore.

It's not just spammers now, it's open war.

3 They're really obnoxious, aren't they? I ended up using a SQL query to clean up Munuviana. If anyone is feeling overwhelmed, I can do the same for other blogs (though I'm hesitant to just do it across the whole database).

MT 3 with the new Blacklist filed this crap as requiring approval. I still had to go and delete it, but it was much easier.

I'll be setting up more MT3 blogs for people today.

4 How do you shut down comments? I would love to do this.

Thanks.

5 Change the "allow comments" setting on a post to "closed".
