I'd never had comment spam before and then bam! Besides my blog, I host my Pastor's blog and do all of the backend stuff on it for him, so between the two of us, I guess I've had to delete well over 1500 comments. At least they were in moderation. I also learned what happens when you have a blank line at the end of your filtered words - that won't happen again!

He's gathered the best info he could come across, give it a read. I hate seeing people have to worry about so much comment spam. :( Have you seen podz’s writeup on tackling comment spam?

Not to mention that if there's more than a couple of comments in one day I get really suspicious. I _am_ however, thinking about finding or creating a plugin that would *disable comments completely on older posts*, just to lower the number of comments they can post, because they are clearly posting on pretty much every post on my site. /me adds “debt” to filtered words, and mutters threats

When I start getting hit I activate MooKitty's <a href="http://blog.mookitty.co.uk/archives/2004/05/28/comment-killer">Comment Killer</a> Plugin, which spares me having to manually delete them, it just deletes everything flagged for moderation. I turn it off when the tide goes down just to be on the safe side. I kinda wonder what would happen if anybody ever wanted to talk about poker now. I too have been getting the same junk.
