Radio Silence Explained
The blog has been hit recently by comment spammers, and I'm in the middle of deleting the bloody spam, a process which is taking a lot longer than I thought it would.
Comments are disabled.
Post is locked.
There have been a couple of successive waves which have frustrated my efforts at spam control. When the situation is rectified, I'll post the backlog of articles. Does anyone have any suggestions as for how I could prevent all this?

MT allows you to ban IP addresses from Comments. Kindsa like locking the barn door after the horse has escaped, but better than nothing.
There are also 'visual recognition' tools that require Commenters to fill out before they can comment.
Also I think the latest version of MT, 2.601?, has some Comment spam control fetures.
I live with it.
