I got slammed again on the 4th of July with comment spam. This was what prompted me to set up MT-Blacklist in the first place. At least this time there were less than a third of the comment spams than last time. In any case, I decided to implement something I should have done in the first place. From now on, you will need to register with TypeKey in order to comment on this blog. It’s very easy. When you click on the Sign In link, it will take you to the TypeKey site. If you have an account already, go ahead and log in and you will be returned to the entry you wish to comment on. If you don’t have an account, go ahead and create one. It’s free. As long as you are logged in, you will be able to comment on my blog to your heart’s content.
In the past, I was concerned that some folks might not comment if they had to log in. However, it’s more of a hassle for me to be constantly deleting comment spams that get by MT-Blacklist.
