I'll just get straight to the point, and I'm hoping some of the MT gurus amongst us can help:
1. how do I block the Comment spam? I keep blocking the IPs but I read somewhere there's some kind of code you can add to block it out. Can someone please point me to where I can find this?
2. Pixy: any luck with the EntryIfComments plug in and uploading my archives? Or are they all still stuck in the big Crash of 2003?
3. What do I need to do to get the comments section to "remember" people?
In cheerier news, should any fellow Mununiks be in or near Hong Kong on 26th November, I'm trying to get the first HK Blogger "Convention" organised. Convention is a loose word here. Let me know.
Posted by Simon at November 11, 2003 12:45 AMThere's a spam blocking plugin. There were some issues with the first version, but I think it's fixed now. If my internet access comes back I'll install it tonight.
I should finish recovering files some time tomorrow, and after that things should proceed a bit quicker.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 11, 2003 02:58 AMIf you could point the way to where it could be found, if it works, I think my site could use that spam blocking plugin as well.

I had the same problem at first and then somehow it disappeared? Don't ask me. But I am interested to learn the answer.

Posted by Susie at November 11, 2003 04:41 PMI had a bunch this morning. I just deleted them and banned the isp...but not before I got a lifetime supply of viagra.
And apparently my bigger weener is in the mail.
My bigger weener is also in the mail.
I banned the IPs. We'll see if it works.
