Part of the reason I haven't psoted much recently is that i've been dealing with a bunch of spam that the Moveable Type filters aren't picking up. Well, at one point, I accidentally sent all of my comments to my junk folder. For comments before mid march, this was fine, since anything older than sixty days was waiting at the bottom of the folder and could immediately be dumped back into my regular comments listing.

Over the last sixty days, though, I'd gotten a good 100 comments or so (including all of the TOP NOVELIST proceedings) and I'd have to weed through the junk to find them. This wasn't too terribly hard on any given page, since with all of the URLs in spam comments, real ones are easy enough to spot even as you scroll down fairly briskly. Except for that I had 7700 spam comments over that period, including about 1000 in the last two days. So on any given page of 125 comments, often only one would be legit, and sometimes, i'd go for 500-600 entries without a real one.

Ugh.

Anyway, I found most of them, but a few (including a few TOP NOVELIST posts, like this past week's winner), are gone, I suspect for good (though Daniel may be able to find his and repost his).

Whatever. Comments have returned for the time being, but if spam remains a problem, I may need to try something else.
