Though in this case someone was doing UPDATES directly on my wp_posts table (I don't know how), and they were messing up the escaping of special characters which is how I first noticed, so it wasn't the typical comment spam. SK2 still handles that just fine, for now at least. Good points in general, thanks.

Also, perhaps adding a CAPTCHA user-identification plugin might do the trick, or the creation of a htaccess file that rejects commments from users with no reference URL. This post is a great one for cleaning up a hacked blog, if this is an issue: http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/ Hi,
