Comment Spam

Spam sucks. Why do spammers have to ruin every communication medium out there? Postal mail, email, popups, malware/spyware, and now comment spam. LonerVamp over at terminal23 has noticed an increase in spam on his blog as well. I had used Akismet to help combat spam, but my host is currently not allowing outbound requests on port 80, so my site cannot contact the Akismet server. Thus, until I figure out with them how to mitigate this, I am going to have to moderate all comments before they are posted.
