You're all bored to death by this but when I was finally able to log into my blog a couple hours ago there were over 150 spam comments about rape, Elidel, and other stuff.
I notice that the spam-bots usually attack older posts so I just installed a MT plug-in that automatically closes comments that are not displayed on this main page -- meaning they are more than 14 days old. I can shrink that time-frame to any number of days I like. I'll see how it goes.
In any event, it means that while existing comments will be shown, you won't be able to post comments to anything older than two weeks. Sorry about that but this is a war I'm fighting with the mutants who insist on clogging-up the comments around here.
It seems to work very well and it was easy-as-pie to install so if you'd like the plug-in or you want me to install it on your blog, let me know...
