Lately, I’ve been having some trouble with comment spam – as in, people leaving comments in various older posts with, well, inappropriate links in them. <\/p>\n
It’s really very annoying – first I have to get the notification that someone has left a comment. Then I have to go into each comment and manually delete it. Finally I have to rebuild my site. This is a long process, especially since the people in question usually leave several comments within a few seconds. What’s more annoying is that these links are left up there for anyone to see until I check my email and have several minutes to deal with it.<\/p>\n
This is not an isolated problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n The good news is, if you use Movable Type, there is a new solution<\/a> available: MT-Blacklist<\/a>. I’m going to install it tonight, and I figured I’d share the love. :)<\/p>\n (Remind me to do a back up first, since I should be doing them regularly anyway!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lately, I’ve been having some trouble with comment spam – as in, people leaving comments in various older posts with, well, inappropriate links in them.
