There were a bunch of new spam comments this morning, so I finally went ahead and installed MT-Blacklist which checks the URLs against a master spam list. This will now work on all the blogs I host (including Carrie's, Alan's, Brian & Karen's, etc.) Its a great little plugin, easy to install, and it even searches the existing comments (it found 18 on Alan's site and a bunch on my photoblog that I'll go in and delete). Sigh. It still depresses me that people would take the time to go in and post spam, but I guess its no worse than all the icky spam I get via email. I have to say it was quite satisfying to add all their urls to my blacklist though :)
