The bastids.

Lately I've been getting a lot of comment spam. At least 2 or 3 attacks a day, sometimes 40 or 50 spams at a time. I've been wasting too much time deleting the comments and rebuilding the entries. So I'm turning off comments on all but the last 7 days worth of posts going forward, automated by a trusty cron job.

All the more reason to check back often.

u already have mt-blacklist installed?

Yeah, I do, but I still get a good deal of spam. So far this approach seems to be working, knock on silicon.

I could upgrade to MT 3.x for free, actually, since I don't ever use the support and it's just me. I keep thinking I'll do that, but it never seems to climb the queue.
