Sadly, I don't think we're going to be able to have weblog commenting without some kind of comment registration for much longer than another few months; I believe comment registration will be a feature of MT3.0 I know if I start getting flooded by comment spam on a regular basis I'm going to have to disable comments; I just don't have the time to delete large numbers of comments on a daily basis. 38258@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jan 2004 18:22:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/20/073724.php#comment-38225 Something very strange is happening: in Jan's section (which is technically a different blog) we just had about 400 spam comments in about a half-hour, coming just seconds apart from all different IPs. I hope this is not a new tool of the disfigured fucks. 38225@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jan 2004 17:17:28 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/20/073724.php#comment-37560 For some inexplicable reason the comment section of the review of "Permission to Land" on my own site (it's the same review I posted here) has been overrun by hordes of immature teenagers telling now much they think The Darkness suck. I haven't yet been able to work out from my referral logs quite where this tide of annoying brats is coming from. 37560@blogcritics.org Tue, 20 Jan 2004 16:10:43 EST
