Has anyone else noticed that their comments are being used for advertising? The past few days I've deleted at least a dozen comments that were solely for the use of advertising some product (mostly porn). I'm pretty annoyed already.

I have had one so far. I ban the ip address and have not had another.

I've been getting like 40 of those a day. It's not so much an MT bug as a new technique by spammers. It is hitting all comment-based systenmms, including Radio and Blogger. Jay is working on an MT plugin that should be ready very soon. I linked to it here.
