FYI UPDATE-

I found some interesting sites on this subject. Obviouisly, it's a huge problem.

1) Comment Spam ManifestoThis monograph is a warning to the legions of spammers that the blogging world is onto them as is not going to take their nonsene lying down. I believe them since this is a community (the blogging one, of course) of heavily armed techo geeks that don't want to be fucked with.

2) MT-Blacklist/Comment Spam ClearinghouseHere's some proof in the form an MT plugin that compares all potential comments against a blacklist of known spammers. It's ingenious. It takes only a few minutes to install even if it you have to go "The Less Easy Path". Nice work, Jay Allen.

What's barley porn? naked kernels?

Comment Spam? That's a new one for me. Fortunately, my blog has not yet become infested with such trash. Knock on wood.

Sounds like you've already got the comment spam thing figured out. (From what I recall it's mainly a MT thing.)

My comments never get spammed.

I too am being overrun with blog spam. The more I delete, the more keeps comings. It's so annoying!

I call 'em spomments.

Nice name. MT Blacklist works great, I use it.
