New Comments

I know how much you all love the MT 2.6 comment system and our friend MT Blacklist (cough) but eventually the time comes when you just have to let go.

That time is now a few days from now.

I've pulled the comment routine from the unfinished version of Minx, and the spam filtering logic from Snark, and I'm patching them into a MT sort-of-plugin.

It's fully compatible with existing comments, but much much much much faster. It has automatic retrospective spam filtering, like Snark: It accepts all comments, and then later on comes back and disappears the ones that look like spam. You can even create a template for it in MT, though it's a little different than regular MT templates (read: simpler).

I hope to have a demo version running tomorrow or Monday, and make it available by the end of the week. I'll post more details on how to use it then.
