Comment Spam in GM and MT

Both of my sites have developed a case of comment spam in the last 2 weeks. The amount in Greymatter was a nearly negligible 6 comments all in one entry. So I turned off comments for that entry. Simple

However, there have been over 200 comments left with rather lurid names in my Moveable Type site – rooftopbrew.com. To combat the evil scripts, I’ve added MT-blacklist, which Noah recently added to his site as well. I’m not sure how effective it is yet, but it sure made it easy to remove the 200 junk entries. Whew.
