Hacked? Or Comment Filter Simply Gone Wacky?

A lot of people have wrote in to describe the strange error message that pops up when people try to comment. I've seen it myself. It goes like this...

An error occurred:

Invalid [] range "f-b" in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(babes|porn|boobs)

[\w\-_.]*\.[a-z]{2,}|(cialis|meridia\b)[\w\-_.]*\.[a-z]{2,}|(diet|penis)....

at extlib/jayallen/Blacklist.pm line 3098.

Not sure what that means. I think it might just be the spam-filter finally deciding to cut to the chase and simply ban all comments.

I'm looking into adding a holoscan comment system, because this is just getting nuts. If anyone knows of a better one -- maybe with a sign-in system that will actually remember names, and maybe with registering, to keep out the spam and such -- please let me know. By email, of course, as you can't comment.
