Damn you all.  I had to do it.  Comment spam just got out of control and I am angry.  I don't mind deleting a comment now and then. But the 50+ last night and handful today have just put me over the edge. 

I am VERY sorry to do it. Not a lot of you comment, which is fine, but it really is a hassle for everyone. 

In other angry news, twitter is down for the bazillionth time.  I may have to actually start talking to people again.

haha! I feel you Joshua. I am about to be pushed to the point of doing this myself. I do not get a lot of traffic to my site, but I have been getting quite a bit of spam traffic lately.

I have been hit over the last 2 days hard. Even with the captcha in BlogCFC, Im getting about 50 per day making it through since the 18th of this month.

I usually only get maybe 1 a week.

I only had 2 to 3 char captcha, but I think most of the comments are not bots but paid commenter's. Thus the captcha doesn't matter any more. They are getting pretty good at making it look like a real comment now too. If the guy last night hadn't commented on EVERY post of the last 6 months I may not have noticed.

Joshua,

At the risk of peddling my own (free) wares, you might try SpamFilter.cfc:
