Man, this shit is getting ridiculous.

Tell ya what... Blacklist needs to just be CLOSED to all but a select few, like Pixy and Paul ONLY.

That'd stop this stupidness.... (since asking politely and REPEATEDLY doesn't seem to be friggin' working...)

I don't think the people are stupid.. else they wouldn'tbe here with the rest of us in thre first place... there's just a huge lack of understanding of how the blacklist works and the proper procedures to implement blocking the fuckhead spammers jackasses.

I know it's hard on everyone's cmmentors, especially blog that get massive amounts of comments - but those people usually bitch and find a work-a-round, The smaller blogs might certainly lose readers and commenters if they can' make it thru the filter.

How about someone with more expertise than I doing a tutorial on how to use the blacklist and then we can leave it at the top to this page, maybe in the sidebar or something -- that way everyone could have a reference source beffore making wholesales blocks to the entire community.

So... if someone can do a good tutorial and post it, I'll take the post and sidebar-itize it for us all.

Any takers????????

Willie, I'm off tomorrow and will finally get a chance to write up a set of instructions.

Pixy et al... how would you like to mark it prominently so folks will see and read it?

As I see it, people who are using the Blacklist don't know that they don't know how to use it properly. Just having the info available in case they want to look for it isn't going to be enough - it needs to be mandatory that anybody who is going to use the blacklist have read and understand how to do so. I don't think that will happen if it's just over in the sidebar.
