Three of my blogs now have been hit with waves of comment spam from fucking Chinese language spammers. They are either paying workers to deal with captcha verification or they have developed a bot to deal with it.
Either way, I have enabled comment moderation on my blogs. I hate doing that, for it really kills off the dynamics of people commenting, but I also don't want to have to spend the time deleting tens of spam comments.
I'd rant about how I really hate those low-life fuckers, but I'd be preaching to the choir on this one.

I'll trade your Chinese spammers for my Russian mail-order bride spammers.
I apparently have a problem with something called "ED" ...
I wrote an article on how to selectively moderate comments. You can make it so that comments older than X days will go into moderation. Good for two reasons - first, it discourages spam. Second, you don't miss comments people want to leave on an article you wrote five years ago.
Cujo, I was doing that (14 day window), but the motherfuckering spammers came in under that window.
I'll revert once the tide of spam goes out.
No prob.

I think I'll try for a 3 day window and see if that works.
