Comments are now off by default. (Just gotta figure out how to retrospectively turn them off, too.) Score 1 to the spammers.
Seems there's a new exploit for MovableType with MT Blacklist. To get round blacklists, spammers are using entities for parts of the URLs they are linking to. I just got hit by 20 or 30 spams in one go. I don't have time to keep despamming. I don't have time to upgrade to the new version of MT, or switch to a new blog system, or whatever.
It's a shame, I've enjoyed some of the comments and discussions that have occurred through the comments.
As Matthew said, communication forms are becoming unusable. Next step: I start blocking all my email.
