Comments now being moderated (temporarily)

by Jack Grant

Due to some issues I was having with the My SQL database at my web host, I upgraded to the latest version of MovableType, but unfortunately that broke my MT-Blacklist installation.

To avoid the inundation of comment spam that has been hitting me, I have comment moderation turned on. So, if you comment and it doesn’t show up right away, please be patient, I’ll approve comments as quickly as possible. I hope to have MT-Blacklist updated in the next day or two so that I can turn off the comment moderation.



Trackback URL (right-click and choose the copy shortcut/link option)

I’ve got some MySQl code snippets that can help you clean up comments and trackbacks if you need them. But better, I found a code generator that pretty effectively blocks spam commenst. Easy to set up for MT. I do wish there were some sort of trackback moderation.
