I apologize if the site has been slow today - I received about 580 comment spams that got through Blacklist, and the site has blocked about 1,000 more attempts since about 7am Eastern time this morning. I know that someone is obviously getting paid for this, but, like other bloggers, am beginning to wonder how quickly these spammers make sure they get paid for spamming - because I’m just as determined to destroy their work as they are to destroy mine.
If you happen to be one of these comment spammers, please feel free and read my policy on the subject. I’m sure you will find it right up your alley.

Holy crapola - and I get upset if I get 2 in one week - and I don’t even have “blacklist” or whatever.
I don’t understand who pays the spammers quite frankly - it’s shocking that spam conducts any revenue at all.

Had a similar issue a while back. Is there are more efficient way to delete the comment spam? Let me know if you’ve pin pointed the exact location of the spammers, I’ll help you interrogate them.
