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.

But what will this mean for giving the death penalty to spammers?
