Poof, gone, adios?

I sure hope so!

I had turned off comments before doing the update the other night but I think MovableType 2.51 had issues. It's been more than 40 hours since the last porn based comment so I've opened things up again and will see how it goes. Worst case, I have to close comments (rather than just turn them off).

If things settle down with these changes, I'll have to take advantage of some things I was planning on doing before I became a target of porn comment folks.

Captcha will be your friend for a while, until it is also defeated. There's a nice perl module available on CPAN, perhaps you can wedge it in to your MT code?

I've thought about it and I know a few people who have it up and running. I've been poking around in some other things as well.

Have you folks thought about opening up the Blogware authentication mechanism to others?
