In case you haven’t seen it already, there’s an important post about some changes to the MT-Blacklist master blacklist on Jay Allen’s site. Jay gives some suggestions about some expressions and URL Patterns to add to your blacklist.
As an aside, I’m still trippin’ off of the amount of comment spam attempts that are blocked by MT-Blacklist. Those few URL Patterns that I added have done an incredible job. Today alone my “pics” URL pattern blocked over one hundred spam attempts. It’s now blocked 1,168 comments in just a few weeks. I wonder when/if these clowns will give up trying to spam Movable Type powered blogs.
I have MT Blacklist but the spammers keep getting through. I’ve had to resort to using registered commenters only.
