alt.rec.comment.spammers.die.die.die

I have no idea of that newsgroup really exists. If not, it should. SquidBlog just received a flurry of 6 new comment spams. Complete with URLs to sites that, if the link text in the spam was accurate, provide viewing of content that is illegal in most civilized countries, and many uncivilized countries as well. I won't be more specific because I have no wish to attract hits from idiots who actively look for such content.

Arcterex has several entries concerning this: a rant, some solutions, and the new MT-Blacklist Plugin.

I removed the offending comments and added the spammers IPs to the Banned IP list. I shall install MT-Blacklist Plugin when I get home after work. These are the IPs currently in my banlist:

209.210.
61.181.5.84
213.206.5.89

Someone in the blogosphere has apparently posted this <expletive deleted>'s home contact information to their blog. I don't believe in doing that. YMMV.
