Spam A LOT
Sunday is a day of rest, unless you’re the former roommate of me. Poor Sparky had to work four hours updating my blog software to the latest version. It was tremendously difficult, and the Blacklist software still isn’t working, which now gives me 250-400 spams a day.
I asked him to update the software, as the spam comments were becoming really unmanageable. I’m sure that all of us need a link for poker sites, poke him sites, and pharmaceuticals, but I just didn’t want it to be part of my site.
Until I get it resolved properly, I’m only allowing TypeKey comments. Users who haven't yet created their own TypeKey accounts must go through the account-creation process before commenting on my site. This is a one-time process, and allows you to use TypeKey on any other TypeKey-enabled web sites. It only takes a minute for you, it doesn’t open you to spam, and it will save me about 45 minutes a day.
Until I can get the anti-spam software working again, I have to shut down the normal comment system. I’m really sorry about this, and my dreams involve me catching one of the spammer bastards and just beating the shit out of them. I’m serious.
