Herb Sutter Gave up Live Space due to Comment Spams

Herb Sutter, the C++ guru, finally left Live Space due to the comment spam out of control.
hate moving a blog, but unfortunately the comment spam is out of
control and I just can’t keep up with the tools available to manage it
here — other than accepting a blog with no comments at all, which I’m
unwilling to do. Your comments are too valuable to give up.
I have researched on the blog comment spams for a long time, since my blog was spammed at the first time (in Chinese). Also I created a semi-automatic solution (in Chinese) to delete the spams. I believe not only me is suffering the blog comment spams, so I was thinking to make the solution totally automatic, and create a tool to clean blog comment spams for us spammer haters.
However, even I created the tool, that does not means our bloggers should take the responsibility to do anti-spam tasks. Anti-spam is the business of the service provider. Live Space SHOULD improve its comment system, or it will become Live Spam and more and more people will leave.
My blog was also spammed. An automatic solution is more than welcome 🙂 I Googled and didn’t find an existing one. Not sure if you are in Solution Contest but I believe this could be a good candidate 😛
