Tragedy of the uncommons

Some cyber-vandal has loosed a bot which posts the addresses of porno sites in the comments of blogs. This character hides behind a Yahoo.com address and an IP allotted to the Tianjin province of China. A little sleuthing led me to the same trash posting on a site in Germany and a travel site. His IP is 61.181.5.155.

Openness is a beautiful aspect of the net. I hope we don't have to put up the cyber equivalent of bars on our windows to keep out the thugs.

Anyone have thoughts on how to deal with blog graffiti?
