Mea culpa!

I didn't catch that during my wave of comment spam deletion.

How did you actually do it?

I've been trying, and I can't break it.

Take a look at the comments on this post. Notice all them square brackets?

Hmmm... can I still comment?

Good point. That's where they're coming from, alright. These spammers, they dumb, can't tell Movable Type from phpBB.

But if you fire up MT Blacklist and try to add one of those URLs, it rejects it as an invalid regexp.

It must be that the check is missing on the email link. Have to dig around some more.

Oh, just re-read your comment. You mean that if I actually "go forth and do my bidding" (which I didn't do, of course) it'll catch it. Well, you know how bugs are...

Hmmm, I was able to add

big-round-ass.group-love.com]big

directly to the blacklist. (I deleted it right away, of course.)

Yup, it "worked". Or rather, it didn't work (I removed the urls from the blacklist so I could post this comment):

The following entries were successfully added to the blacklist:

* big-round-ass.group-love.com]big
* dating-gay.group-love.com
* fucking-wife.bezbana.com

Also, I didn't remove the comment. So it's still there for your debugging pleasure!
