Comment SPAM
I’ve learned to live with SPAM in the last few years as has everyone else. When it first started to become a problem I remember thinking I was going to have to change mail addresses to deal with it but then, thankfully, came SPAM filters. To date my hotmail account, although it requires weekly attention, is fairly clean. Alas, today I discovered an entirely new type of SPAM, Blog Comment SPAM.
Some SPAM machine somewhere has an automated way to add blog comments to MoveableType Blogs such as mine. Fortunately only 20 entires were added but it still took me 30 minutes to clean them out of my blog and to turn off comments for all old blog entries and all future entires. Until I find a way to maintain the blog SPAM I’m turning off commenting. Sorry!
I’ll be looking into MT-Blacklist to try and rememdy this so until then, if you want to comment it’s going to have to be via email.
