Is it my imagination, or has blog comment spam dropped way off?
I certainly haven’t received any at my sites for a couple of weeks.
Weeellll … now that I look at my Activity Log, I can see two or three hits a day that ran up against MT-Blacklist. So maybe the answer is that my blacklist is pretty effective right now. Huzzah!

Blacklist is doing its job well. Some days it blocks hundreds of assaults; the activity report is much more interesting to read these days, that’s for sure!
I got nailed day before yesterday with a ton of them, but other than that, it’s been pretty quiet.
I need to upgrade to 2.661 and I *think* the most recent blacklist, tho.
I’ve found the MT-Blacklist 1.6.3rc1 version to be stable. Rc2 is out there now, but it’s just a bug fix to rc1, and I haven’t hit any of the bugs yet.
Son of bitch. The Irony Gods are having fun with me. This morning, a good dozen comment spam had gotten through (for two sites). Rat bastards.
And that’s a big thank you to Mr. 64.114.149.43. It’s helpful to get one’s hubris punctured. In exchange, you needn’t try posting here from that IP address again. Ta!
Huh. And I see you’ve been a pretty regular visitor here for the last month. I’ve never been much into IP banning checks in the past, but maybe I need to do that a bit more often.
