Blog spam

Well, with increased visibility comes increased spam. Today I was hit with my first big attack of blog spam. It was definally over 300, but I would guess that it was closer to 500 spam. Really nasty stuff too. People are sick. I'm just really disgusted right now. Time for a run.

  1. Did you already delete these comments? I can't see them.
    I'll have to show you how to use MT-Blacklist, which is installed on your MT to take care of this.

  2. Ya, I already deleted them all... pretty nasty stuff. I actually deleting at the same time as the bot was attacking. Pretty strange actually...
    Ya, it I didn't clue in that MT-Blacklist was up and running... ah well. I'll take a look around on how to use it. Is there anything that I should look at to try it out?
    btw, is there any reason why MT isn't saving my profile from comments?

  3. You mean the Name, Email Address, URL? It saves mine. :)
    It could be your browser doing something funky. I use Firefox on Mac.
    As for the MT-Blacklist, I should run you through it on Messenger sometime ... it's ready to go. You've been getting a lot more blog spam lately.
