I think I have a bot trying to post comments on two of my sites.

Take a look at one of my logs and you can see the CMT_saveComment lines. I am glad anonymous comments are disabled or I would have a nightmare on my hands.

I've been through that (round one) and now the spammers apparently have a script that will go to the site, create a user id, and then post a comment as a registered user. That's the problem I've fighting right now and it might be related to what you are seeing.

Sounds like some old friends are still at it. In fact, I still see them trying the same on geeklog.net.

Block those IP addresses and/or follow the links the CAPTCHA add-ons.

Sure. You could end up with a lot of new users in your submission queue, but it would prevent them from posting.

I would like to mention that most of my comments taht are spam have the string .:. between the links to whatever porn spam they are posting. When I add ".:." to my personal blacklist, my users are no longer able to edit their account information, and they get the Message deteted as Spam and deleted error message.

Thought i'd let you know, don't know if its a bug or if i'm doing something wrong.

You have to keep in mind that what you enter in Spam-X are actually regular expressions. And in a regexp, the '.' has a special meaning in that it matches anycharacter. So ".:." would also match "a:b" or the "http://" in a URL (which is probably the problem with the user profile).

You would have to escape the dot with a backslash to ensure it's treated as a dot. But the Spam-X plugin in 1.4.0 (and earlier) has a problem with backslashes in the input field (that's fixed in 1.4.1). So, for the moment you should use some other pattern ...
