…They took it alright, and laughed.

Posted by CelticBear on 22nd September 2004

OK, so I’m still having problems with spam comments on the Blog. I hazard it’s a problem with the new install of MT-Blacklist being compromised by some remnant of the the MT-Blacklist still hanging around. MT-Blacklist worked 100% perfectly before I upgraded my Blog software to MT 3.0, so I still have faith.

Until then, I just have to delete 100 comments a day for poker ads and teen sex. urk.

Little trivia:
According to the company FrontBridge, which manages and evaluates e-mail traffic for over 15,000 e-mail domains, August 30th broke the record for the most spam in one day.
They estimate that 90% of the e-mail sent over the Internet on that was spam.

Alright! MT-Blacklist (that beautiful, wonderful man!) has released a new “emergency” upgrade in Blacklist for MoveableType 3.x users (like myself.)
It’s a blog plugin I had used before I upgraded my blog software, which was blocking dozens of spam comments a day! Since it stopped working I turned off blog commenting altogether. Now that there’s a patch for my blog software, on it goes again!
Hooray anti-spam! =)
