Fsck You Blog Comment Spammers!

December 16th, 2004 · 1 Comment

Just been spammed about 500 blog comments. It’s bloody annoying.

MTv2 (even w/ the excellent MTBlacklist plugin) is totally helpless with such blog comment spam attacks. There is a very strong incentive right now for me to migrate over to WordPress, which has much better comment control and management.

Might switch over the weekend.

    Is it difficult to add one of those alphanumeric charactor graphic where the comment writer has to correctly manually copy the graphic charactors into text charactors before a comment is accepted? So that it would be limited to manually typed only comments. I have seen other MT blogs with this feature in their comment page, but I wasn’t able to google the method.
