Had to do it
July 8, 2004 - 3:32 am
Since June 9:
350 attempted comments have been blocked by the Blacklist plugin
I don’t have a count of how many comments have NOT been blocked, but I have added 100 URLs to the Blacklist.
Simply put, the spammers have been making it not fun anymore. So I upgraded to Movable Type 3.0. This means that if you want to comment, you have to sign up with TypeKey. They don’t require a lot of info and they don’t spam you after you sign up. It’s just a level of accountability. I hope you choose to keep commenting even though it means you have to go through an extra step.
And yes, I know some of my templates look like ass right now. I still need to tweak my CSS settings!
