Hold the Spam

September 1, 2005

Ugh.
I've had a flood of comment spam that the new MT 3.2 anti-spam features just yawned at and turned the other cheek.

These spam comments were rated with three criteria: IP known as a spam IP? Commenter URL exists on a previously published comment? Commenter email exists on a previously published comment?

Now, because a whole slew of comments got through and published, then each one automatically got a thumbs up on the last two criteria, which completely overrode the first criteria. Good thinking, there.

And it looks like the "trusted" and "banned" commenter feature is only applicable if I used Typekey.

I hope this spam thing doesn't keep me busy this weekend.
