I was getting quite a bit of spam a while back and that stopped it cold.

Thanks a lot for the praise... Only one little thing: if it's not too much trouble for you, it would be awesome if, instead of the outdated introductory post, you could link to the newer main Spam Karma repository directly (it contains important updates and the latest reports from our technicians down in the Spam Containment Research Lab): http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/ Thanks again and good luck with the Spam Fighting!

MTBlacklist catches most of the spam, but even when I do start to get hit hard with something that gets through, I at least don't have to worry about the page rebuilds (especially since for me, at least, they never seem to hit new entries, just old ones that aren't accessed much anymore). If you ever have reason to look at MT again, poke around with the dynamic options.

Craig, Spam Karma integrates MooKitty's checks and many many others, so it is that much better at identifying spam. Plus, it has automated CAPTCHA or e-mail self-approval for questionable comments, and it will mail you digests of deleted comments, just in case. Welcome home!

That way the people from these IPs can read my blog just like normal people should, but not write any comments or do trackbacks.
