Have you tried Mt-Blacklist? I use it and it has stopped 90% of spammers. Check it out.

I too recommend MT Blacklist… It’s great!

Sadly, I use mt-blacklist… there are just so many different sites people are spamming for that it doesn’t seem to keep up.. uggg..

Yeah Spammers SUCK! Of course I can’t use Blacklist cuz I am on MT 3.0 now. And TypeKey doesn’t work with popup comment windows. Why me? Why me?

There’s another MT plugin that blocks spam by having users type out a word in an image before they post, like on TicketMaster or ebay. It’s supposed to then stop 100% of spam.
You can download it here.

I developed a trick for preventing comment spam, but it means your site will only work for browsers with javascript enabled.
I rewrote the script that opens the comment window so that the comment ID is added to the static part of the URL (the MT CGI script) by the javascript when a user clicks on it, and not just printed out for any old spam tool to find. If the URL for comment script does not include an entry ID to tell it what entry you’re commenting on then it gives an error.

For a user that has javascript it doesn’t change anything, for a spam tool it means there’s no working link to get to the comment entry form.

It stopped my comment spam to nothing. Visit my site, click on a permalink and snag the javascript for yourself.
