Mmmmm, No more spam…
At least in comments.
I have upgraded to the bleeding edge of Wordpress, which now includes comment moderation. So now before a comment is released on the site I must manually approve it. While that does add to the overhead for me, at this time I am more than happy with that.
Along with comment moderation, the good codemonkeys have been hard at work streamlining and improving every facet of this CMS.
This new feature coupled with my blacklisting system I designed not to long ago, should help to keep my site free and clear. Yeah!

I’m now getting between 4 and 10 comment spams every day on my journal. It is getting seriously annoying. I guess I need to look at either upgrading, migrating, or hacking something into MT to do this sort of thing.

Hey Chris. If you could work out the code, you could always set it so that the usual commentors on your site will be able to comment without having to go through the censorship process. Just a thought for the almighty code warrior.

That is a good point, but how would I be assured that it is actually you that is posting? If I base it on the name you use, then all a spammer would have to do would be to spam under your name; and I can’t base it on IP since that changes for most people. Not sure yet, maybe I can add a password field and give oyu the pass to my normal users.
We shall see.
