Blog spam continued

So, having renamed my comment script and removed links to it from the front page, comment spam continued to hit.

Today, I added a hidden form field to comment entries, and turned off comments on most of the blog entries. I now have a db script to automatically turn off all comments on entries older than a set time.

Let's see if that stems the tide of trash...

I guess comment spam is a real worry for blogs built with Moveable Type. I'm lucky--no such worries for me.
