Comments and spam

Posted on Friday 28 March 2008

Just a quick administrative note.

My spam software seems to be twitching and gibbering suddenly. It’s sucking some comments into the spam box and not others.

Thus far, the only commenters affected are (some of) those who have been part of the discussions here for years.    Since I’ve been fishing them out non-stop for the last two days, with no end in sight, please drop me an email if you post a comment that doesn’t immediately appear.

It may be that I need to reconfigure the Akismet settings and require first-time approval for all commenters again. (Just at the moment, that may not be a bad thing… )

Thanks for your patience.

    I would be interested to know exactly how Akismet has determined by posts to be spam, as it appears not to be limited to your site. Does your software have any type of debug mode where you can get a diagnostic message explaining why it considers me to be an evil spammer?

    Jeesh, EdT = spammer sort of sounds like Polimom = redneck creationist.

    :giggle:

    ~EdT.
