The comment spammers are now spamming me with the URLs of www.wikipedia.org and www.niu.edu. I can only assume this is a crude attempt to degrade the usefulness of MT-Blacklist by filling people's blacklists with legitimate sites.

Remind me to remove those two URLs from my blacklist as once they stop appearing in my rejection logs.

I'm getting the same except in my case it's endless links to the some random post on someone else's blog.

So far, Wordpress has been pretty accurate in spotting the spam but it's still annoying having to check and moderate over 100 posts each day.
