Yesterday was a particularly bad spam day, for me anyhow. No ~2000 spams like Clancy. On the other hand, I delete them all by hand, so there's that. If y'all know how to delete bunches of comments at once in MT, let me know.

Unlike many, I still keep a "banned IP" list and add every spam address to it. Of course, this won't stop the tide, but I figure that many of these spams are coming from zombie computers which probably record where they were able to spam, so they can return and spam again. Thus, I feel like I'm fighting the battle when I record their IP address.

What I'd really like is a comment-destroyer screen that gives me a list of all the comments posted since a given date, with a display of the subject, the email, and the first few words of their comment. Then there would be a little check box that allowed me to select the comment. Then the button at the bottom would be "Deleted selected comments and add IPs to Ban List." Oh, if only I had time and administrator access to my MT.

Doug commented that he thinks it's somewhat appropriate to imagine me on the net, fighting zombies.
