Fighting Comment Spam

October 14th, 2003

Although I may disagree often with other bloggers whom I read on a regular basis, I think I can say with confidence the a majority of bloggers can agree on one thing.

We all hate comment spammers.

Recently, I’ve been receiving my fair share of comment spam, and just in the nick of time, Jay Allen has come up with a nifty anti-spam solution for Movable Type-based weblogs called MT-Blacklist.

More notes on MT-Blacklist are also available. Other MT blogs (including this one) are now using it, and Kevin Aylward has addtional blacklist templates available.
