Now Back to MT Blacklist
As some readers have noticed, I've been having some trouble with comments recently. This blog gets about 100-150 spam comments per day that I see (and probably more that go straight to junk), and managing this has been a major thorn in my side for a while.
Thankfully, SixApart released a bevy of new plugins recently, one of which is the MT-Blacklist Connector for 3.2. This puts the fantastically easy-to-use Blacklist plugin back in operation, which means that hopefully I can cut down on the amount of time I spend fixing the blog and spend more time writing it.
In the meantime, if you've a spare moment and can post a comment here, please do. For those who are keeping track, this blog currently uses the following plugins to eliminate spam:
- Spamlookup, which comes with MT 3.2
- MT-Blacklist 2.04b
- MT-Blacklist Connector
- ModerateViaDelay, which means that any comment posted to an entry more than 10 days old (provided it hasn't had a comment in five days) gets queued for moderation instead of published
As always, if someone notices that something's not working, please don't hesitate to tell me.
