There's something very exhausting about this.

From the last couple of days.

Obviously, none of it's gettin' through. But it's kind of insane and retarded how often some jackasses are trying to spam this blog.

Note all the repeats. I guess the fucking jackals have figured out a way to automate it, now.

When the next incarnation of Moveable Type goes gold, you'll have to register to post comments here, as if it were a messageboard. I don't enjoy hassling you guys, but it's obvious someone, somewhere is determined to be a problem. I'd rather not heave a sigh every time I see a new comment, wondering if it's for real, or just some dildo in China or wherever trying to sell me mail-order pharms. Sorry.

I've been getting it too, though not nearly as much, yet.

Of course, I had a good spam-free month after I installed MT-Blacklist.

Loathe as I am to require registration, it might not be a bad idea.

Gee, that's to bad... but let me tell you about this special offer! ---Act now to get your 50-day free trial of "Neo-Cons Gone Wild!" Hot! Hot! Hot!---

Sorry, couldn't resist. Thank you for making me realise that no, I actually don't want a registration-free message board on my site...

Had nine more attempts to post drugs ads just today.

Nine. In one day. All rejected, but nine.

I guess my blog made it onto a spamlist, somewhere. I swear to God that MT-Blacklist is the only thing between me and a murder spree.

If you have the time, try doing a reverse DNS lookup on the spammers IPs, and contacting their ISP.

I got a couple spammers knocked offline with that. Try calling them if they have a phone number. They take it more seriously that way.

Ahh, their addresses (213.91.217.15 and 213.91.217.13) comes back as "unresolved."

Any more ideas?

Yeah. Randomly murder people and hope they're the ones responsible.

The odds are against you, but it'll make you feel better.
