note about comment spam

btw, we’ve gotten lots of spam comments. our solution is to use an automated spam blocker to screen comments. we’ve had to block the brand names of many drugs, as well as lots of words related to gambling. If you try to submit a comment and it is rejected due to “questionable content”, then try rephrasing the comment to not use an “spamy” words, and using the generic name for any drugs you mention. Or, email the administrators, and we’ll help.

(nothing to say here, but i’m still testing the email notification service)

    Have you tried MT-Blacklist, http://www.jayallen.org/projects/mt-blacklist/ ? I had good success with it last time I was using Movable Type.
