Attention Blog Spammers

i've tried just about everything to get rid of blog spammers.... blog spammers are bastards that make comments only for the sake of promoting their website (usually of an adult or illegal nature) in order to scam people online into visiting them and buying their junk. Junk like "casinos", "viagra", "tramadol"...crap like that.... Why? because of three reasons:
1. Increases their google relevancy by having other sites link to them
2. Get stupid people to go there and buy stuff
3. because a lot of bloggers don't bother to keep them clean and leave the junk. I've tried renaming the posting cgi multiple times, even adding a preview requirement that makes you look at the post before you can submit it....no luck. I've also banned every single IP that ever posted spam on my site... Well today I installed a blacklist program, of course specifically the globally popular Jay Allen one. I have high expectations that future spam will be minimal...give it a week of course and I will be donating to support the cause as well. *phew* running a website isn't always easy.... That being said, Moxie is doing well...she eat's alot and sleeps alot. We're making progress on the trim work in the family room slowly but surely. Thing kinda got help up this week with me having to work a maintenance window and Jen's work held it's grand opening and the lead singer from five for fighting was there. Pretty nice guy, took his time to talk to people and signed all the autographs before leaving.

Hey Dennis couldn't you just have your regular visitors set up an account and require authentication to reply to the blog?

I suppose I could...but honestly I wouldn't want to have to go through that.

One of the biggest gripes I have about live journal is that kind of setup. It's a pain and sometimes people don't want to have to go that extra step.
