The Influx of Comment Spam on CommunityServer Sites???

Friday, August 25, 2006 (Updated 1/23/2008)

Has anyone else had a HUGE influx of comment spam on your CS sites lately? (I'm assuming quite a few folks are seeing this)

Over on ChrisHammond.com (upgraded to 2.1 a few days ago) I've been getting close to 100 spam messages a day. While it's nice to have the CS 2.1 spam filtering running over there, I'm curious if anyone has looked into where it's all coming from???

I've reported this to the CSTeam quite often but they claim it's just anti-spam that needs to get smarter. Well, having moderation for comments on my site should have automatically denied a large number. But comments STILL get in and approved - with moderation on! I haven't found the time to actually dig in and find the hole myself.
