Comments. Spam. Broked.
Someone has apparently added "com" to the blacklist, preventing people from commenting because their email addresses are invalid. I can't fix it, because I ADMIT THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!!!
There. Is that so hard?

Is that what happened! Someone emailed me saying they wanted to leave a comment, but kicked out as spam. *sigh*
Pixy? Paul? Someone? Thank you!

It's quite annoying that folks seem to just add the entire list of "found" urls to the blacklist without actually checking to make sure there aren't any little traps...not to mention that just because a particular
word bothers them they think it bothers everyone. Or maybe they don't realize it's a shared blacklist, and normal commenters are more likely to be blocked than spammers anyway (since the spammers can even hit the closed comments). Although it seems to me that they would have to manually add a lot of the stuff that's being blocked (like certain drug names and even the email extension at-mail.com--though that uses the at symbol, which I'm not typing so my comment will post).

Anyway Ted, if you bring up the blacklist and click the list tab, all 33k blocked items will list, and you can find the one that's the problem and remove it--if you can get the entire page to load without your computer crashing (which I never can). I wish they listed in pages rather than all at once....

Oh! And "thank you!" to the person who changed the default search from the last 100 to the last 1000 comments--that makes it much easier to get at the evil suckers...sometimes I had to run the 100 a couple times before all the spam cleared out...now it seems the 1000 often gets it all in one try!

Ok, I actually got the list to load up the the "d"s, but there are five entries for "com" and since I can't remove them all at once because the check mark system seems to need to have the entire list load before you can actually delete them, and using "remove" only takes off one at a time (requiring the entire list to reload for each one) I can't get them all...

I've deleted a bunch of sp*m comments recently. About 25 every morning for the last couple of weeks. I usually try to be careful or just empty the found URLs box and just delete the comment. There was one day I just got too damned annoyed and hit the "Go forth and do my bidding" button without even looking.
In other words if I did this. Sorry. I won't do it again.

Susie, the problem is the Blacklist was designed to handle 3 or 4 thousand entries. The MuNu blacklist now has over 31,000. That's why your machine shits itself when trying to load it. Unfortunately, most of those entries aren't protecting anyone anyway, because they weren't entered correctly.
(The list takes 5 to 10 minutes to load on my machine - but it does eventually load.
I couldn't find any com entries to remove, so am assuming somebody else got them.
Note to folks who are removing entries on request - post a comment saying you've done so please, so others don't waste time looking for a problem that's already been fixed.
Susie, note that the entries with com in them plus some extra characters like the / (backslash) that were entered by Pixy are actually regular expressions and should not be removed.

Thanks, Paul--I suspected they were legit since they weren't just a word, but I couldn't see what else might have been causing his problem.

Thanks Paul. Sorry, I was a little occupied over the weekend.
I've grabbed a copy of the blacklist and I'm busy stripping out all the junk. I should be able to reduce it by at least 70-80%, but the program will take a while to run. (It's doing a DNS lookup on every well-formed entry...)

Sweep complete. Blacklist reduced from 31,000 to about 7500 entries. It's even possible I haven't broken everything...

Pull Down Menus for Archives
My archives list is getting rather long, so I was wondering if I could condense all those months into a drop-down menu. What code should I use and where do I stick it? (lol)
The article here:
http://www.learningmovabletype.com/a/000862pull_down_menus/
does not say where to insert the code. Call me crazy, but I would think the location of the code would be important.

OK, I've been absent for quite a while. But when did NZ Bear have a farewell party? His domain seems to be dead, and there are no forwarding links. Is this some dirty trick by the Kos Kidz, or has he really gone? What happened? Somewhat mystified...

That's funny, yesterday when I used that link it took me to a Network Solutions page indicating that the domain was no longer in use. I tried it several times with the same result, and eventually found NZ's old Blogger site from 2002. Must have been some sort of DN server hiccup.

Comments are El Busto. Again.
So whenever someone wants to comment they get this error:
"Quantifier follows nothing in regex;" followed by a long damn string of what appear to be blacklisted websites.
This is true on my blog and at the LLamas, not sure where else, as I haven't tried it elsewhere, yet.

Amazing how one little inappropriate character (the " * ") entered into the Blacklist can cause it to totally throw up on itself.

You Can Has Cheezburger!
Hi everyone!
mee.nu, the commercial sister site to mu.nu, has gone live. That means that anyone can sign up and set up a blog right away. If you have readers looking for something better than Blogspot (or who want to set up their first blog), point them that way.
If you want to post a little announcement on your own blogs, that would be very welcome. :)
I'm testing the MT to Minx migration right now. This will be an export/import; currently it doesn't keep your templates or maintain permalinks, so if you're worried about that you might want to wait a bit. If that's not critical to you, though, we should be ready for you to move in by the end of the week.
This week I'm working on the forum module; you'll be able to run forums that are fully integrated with your blog. Next week I'll be uploading the new theme builder, which lets you quickly build a custom blog design. Following that are polls and quizzes, photo albums, podcasts, and chat. And a special surprise. ;)
The next few months should be lots of fun for mu.nu and mee.nu!
P.S. You don't need to move to mee.nu. You can move to the new software and keep your mu.nu address.

Resurrection Blues
Is there anyone out there in Munu land who would care to take a look at my old bit of fluff on the net and see what I have done to screw it up? I have "redesigned" the blog (changed the Index and stylesheet) and now am no longer able to post on the new version. The html seems to validate correctly and there are only some minor flaws in the css. The site meter is probably going to go so that code splotch on the bottom will be gone as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Mark.
I'm not sure what caused it, but some of the file permissions in your archive directory were out of whack. I've seen this happen before, so I think it's a software glitch, not anything you might have done.
I've reset the permissions, and it all should be fine now.

Trey:
To get to your cPanel, just got to
http://flibbertigibbet.mu.nu/cpanel. You'll need your actual cPanel login info as it may be different from your blog credentials.
As for the importing process, unless things have changed, you need to send the file to be imported to Pixy so he can place it in the correct directory. You then use the import mechanism in the MT admin interface to tell it to import. (Same place you created the export, but in the 'new' blog.)

It's not even summer yet, but we've got repeats already...
Sigh. Someone has added both google.com and yahoo.com to the blacklist. I would delete them myself, but, unfortunately, my browser always locks up before even a thousand or so of the over 27k banned words, phrases and urls can load. Can anybody help? And can we maybe figure out who did it and give them some pointers?

Its the spammers doing. Sometimes they insert embedded code with google.com or yahoo.com for 2 reasons: 1) to get their stuff past the spam filters and 2) to screw & get even with the bloggers. If you use the auto despam method then you won't pick it up until people complain.
I went to war with a spammer and he included my own site url and email so I was blocked from comment in all of munu for 2 days until Paul & Pixy stepped in. They kept coming back and inserting my url, so I got pissed and banned their IP addresses. Problem solved.

Bandwidth Uppage
Hi kids!
Since you've all been good lately, I'm doubling your allowance!
Nearly every month there are a couple of Munuvians who hit the bandwidth limit and see their sites temporarily go offline.
To explain: Each blog has a certain bandwidth allowance, and if you go over that, the server suspends your site automatically. This isn't a fixed limit, though, but rather a safety feature so that if someone, say, hotlinks an image from your site, they don't chew up all the bandwidth of the server and cost us hundreds of dollars in excess usage.
At our previous service provider, we got, I think, 1.5TB of bandwidth per month per server, and then it was 50 cents per GB after that. The servers cost around $150 each, so it worked out to about 10 cents per GB for the first 1.5TB, and then it suddenly got expensive.
At our current provider, we get 2TB per month for servers costing about $200. After that, it was 25 cents per GB - a lot better, but still more expensive than the packaged bandwidth.
This week they reduced their excess usage charges to 10 cents per GB, so now it works out the same as the pre-paid bandwidth, so there's no longer any big problem. Last October, a 1TB overrun would have cost $500; now it's just $100.
What this means is that I can go through and double everyone's bandwidth allowance. :)
There's a couple of hundred accounts to adjust, though, so it might take a couple of days. But since we're in a new month, no-one's likely to run out for a little while... I hope. ;)
