Comment Spam
I am adding Comment Spam to my Internet Axis of Evil.
I just had to spend 20 minutes deleting porn comments from my blog and blocking the IP addresses from commenting again. I think that was a pretty futile effort becuase whomever generated all this porn spam did it from a different IP address for everyone of them.
There has to be a better solution.
First, TypePad should make it a lot easier to block a commenter right from the offending comment. I've sent in a feature request already to them.
Second, someone needs to build a tool to identify and block this stuff. John Batelle links to one idea of how to do this and the comments are all good.
I am going to check out TypeKey, but I don't want to force commenters to register.
This shared blacklist of bad comment spammers is a great idea. I'd gladly participate.

Brad Feld had an interesting post the other day about Mitch Kapor getting "blammed."

I use my own install of Movable Type - so I'm not sure what the options are with Typepad. But can you turn off comments on older posts? I implemented a MT plug-in named that automatically closes comments on posts after 30 days. That has reduced my comment spam by 95%. I still get an occasional spam - but its manageable (for now anyway).

I'm labelled this Blam (blog spam). There are already a bunch of sites popping up to try to address this - do a google search on "blog spam".

I linked to a guy the other day who had a comment filter in his comments area, you have to type in a camouflaged number thingie to post... maybe this will work. Check out this guy's comments section:

www.blog.com uses the same format of having one type in a code to post comments. Therefore, my blog never gets spammed thankfully. Great blog that u have here!
