Comment Spam

…and on my little updated, unread blog. I think they spammed every entry, and several were spammed with up to 4 comments. I know lots of people have been having these problems; I just can’t believe it filtered down to me.

It would have been a huge PITA to remove all those comments without MT-Blacklist plugin. I had heard of it before, but found it on the Movable Type main page. It wasn’t too difficult to install, just download, unpack, upload and change permissions. I could imagine it being complicated for someone who doesn’t know UNIX though. I expect to get an email from Sam pretty soon.

It worked great. Its default list got most of my spam. I added a custom field (fda.gov – someone was posting with that fake address) that got rid of the rest.

Really, what is the point of all that spam? Am I or my nonexistent readers really going to buy viagra from you? Assholes.
