funny you should mention...

having been spending increasing amounts of time deleting comments from about 6 blogs on my MT 2.66 installation which have got about 10,000 spam comments so far ...

as that old MT only allows comment deletion piecemeal, and only bans by IP, i spent last night implementing:
MT-BLACKLIST

joy!!

this page is MTspecific, but has useful general advice about avoiding comments box spam apllicable if your using other blogging systems: http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/comment_spam

ithink eden also have experience of this issue somewhat ?? ...

I use wordpress which seems similar to MT - i.e. blacklist and moderation options.

I just got back from holiday to find 700 spam comments. :mad: but easily sorted by adding a new word to the blacklist (from the email address in this case).

I have no clue about coding though!

Also, I think Haloscan comments are fairly spam-free, there was a thread on this before here iirc.
