Hmm ... suddenly a lot of SERPS and phone sex spam appeared on the Topic Exchange. Ah well, my spam deleting interface is good enough that it doesn't hurt to blow it away by hand. The latest version of MT-Blacklist managed to catch one of the phone sex sites, but I guess what I'm seeing is stuff entered by hand rather than mass-posted like what Movable Type users seem to be being hit with, so the blacklist wasn't all that useful this time.
That said, once I delete a link to a site, the Topic Exchange will refuse to link to that site ever again. The phone sex spammer seems to have loads of different domains, though, so this may not be that handy in this case either. Hmm.
