Due to the unceasing and indeed accelerating crapflooding, I've disabled comments just for the moment. Within the next couple of hours, they'll be back with a new hand-coded crap filter.
Right now, though, I'm late for work.
Update: Done! We'll see how it goes.
Posted by Pixy Misa at December 31, 2004 12:22 AMWorkin' fine so far for me! Though, I've never had much a problem with spam/crap-flood so we'll just have to wait to hear from others...
Posted by Tuning Spork at December 31, 2004 05:13 AMYeah, it seems to have stopped the bastards in their tracks. It's not all that smart, though, so eventually they might work around it. On the other hand, it's a MuNu-specific hack, and if everyone does their own little hack they'll have to work their way around hundreds of different crapfilters.

Great job on continuing the battle!
Wanted to let you know that the 2 plugins I was mentioning in an earlier post turn out to only apply to MT 3.1, which I know isn't currently the problem, so I'm no help there.
Bummer.

Posted by Light & Dark at December 31, 2004 05:18 AMCool. I've even got it logging crapfloods now, so we can see what's going on.
Posted by Pixy Misa at December 31, 2004 05:22 AMAlso, it logs the IP address of every source of crap, so we can ban them all! So even when they work around the filter, we'll still have them all blocked.
Hahahaha!
