Protection from Comment Spamming
Learning Movable Type: Concerning Spam
Here are a list of ways to protect yourself from comment spam. I’ve tried a number of them in the past to mixed results. For some reason, the MT-Blacklist plugin causes my mt-rebuild to go awry. Renaming the mt-comments.cgi file has met with limited success because it can be overcome. I use IP blocking when I have the time, but it’s not always feasable given the time constraints. I have some alone time after Christmas, so maybe I’ll give some of the other suggestions a try.
If the site’s down between Christmas and New Years, that probably means I’ve broken something. Don’t worry, I’ll fix it eventually
