Since I''m using my own blog engine (still wttiren in RAD Studio 2007 with ECO), I wrote my own spam filter which filters a few dozen comments each day. Mainly comments that point to other websites and/or use special words from a blacklist that I''ve been compiling (based on decreasing success of comments that passed the filter). There''s a slight chance I may block a valid comment, but only if it would use these words (and a mention of a sexy application would not be reason to kill it, neither would be a normal reference to a website).It seems to be a battle or game between the spambots and me sometimes they come up with something that will pass (for a little while), but I can always manually remove comments, of course. That needs to be done about once a week nowadays
