I knew it would just be a matter of time but it seems that the blog spammers finally found me. When I checked my site today I noticed at least 2 comments on every single post in my blog. They were all for online casinos. Spammers really are ruining the internet. Damn they are annoying!
So to fix the problem I got MT-BlackList. It's a pretty simple little plugin for Movable Type that will not only de-spam your comments on request, but it also blocks spammers from ever posting to your site. It's pretty damn good too. It's written in Perl and uses regular expressions and a black list (of course) to do the filtering. I definitely recommend it to anyone that is having spam related troubles with their blog.
