Jesus. I'm deluged with it. it's everywhere. I deleted 50 spams today. They're not even interesting. They read like this:

It side these calledan {link to incest site} mother and son incest. I've the DV chris {link to porn site} sister real incest [expletive]. Tips it in thatpackets {link to porn site} incest story. Write part its bestonion" {link to porn site with misspelled URL} mom son sex. Should another and itof {link to porn site} incest sex stories. Allows the will waycan {link to site} jpg lips girls. Address double character writtenfew {link to porn site} real lesbian cartoon. Just to th! e variablebut {link}anime rape.

And so on, for 300 words, with 50 links to different subdomains of the same site, not making ANY sense, repeated 30 times, from 20 different IP addresses, all within two minutes of one another.

WTF?

I've just gone through and disabled comments on all my entries over a certain age. I'm going to have to disable all the comments on almost every entry on my MovableType site. I don't know what to do; banning IPs isn't going to do me any good if they're coming from all over like this.

I'm guessing it's a virus. I'm guessing it's installed itself on the computers of a number of users at varying IP addresses, and is running itself according to some central command. Unless some spammer has managed to get himself accounts at 30 different IP addresses, or something.
I don't really understand, but I'm going to have to admit defeat and close comments.

Fortunately, not on livejournal. I've only ever gotten one comment spam on lj. They patrol that, and besides-- my livejournal isn't ranked so highly in the search engines, so the spammers' bots don't find that site. My MovableType site is ranked very well in search engines for all kinds of phrases, and so it's much more attractive to spammers.

So, I will replace comments on the one blog with instructions on how to email me so I can post your comment myself, and I'll simply direct readers of the personal MT blog to come see LJ, where it's mirrored. I can close comments and not lose too much reader feedback.

But it still feels like defeat. Curse you all, you motherfuckers (apparently literally... Eugh).
