Comment spam run amok

Well, it seem the idiots sending spam are overrunning weblog comment systems.

This is shame. Instead of allowing for our systems to remain able to discuss things freely, these criminals are ruining it.

I've mentioned this idea before and it continues to remain valid. Unless steps are taken to utilize some forms of secure message delivery this problem is only going to get worse.

Perhaps this recent outbreak will convince people to get off their lazy asses and do something about it.
