The spammers are back in full force. :( I get between five and ten spam comments a day that I have to then go clean out. To help stem the tide, as of this post, I’m turning on comment moderation. What’s that mean? Well, I’m not exactly sure myself. Ideally, it will work like this: you post a comment to this (or any) post, and MT lets me know I have a new comment. I look at it, approve it, and approve the commenter for commenting, meaning I don’t have to approve your comments anymore.
To make this easier: Leave me a comment on this post, using the name you wanna comment with and either an email or web address. Then I can approve that name for commenting.
In less annoying news…
Halloween Party @ My Place!
We’re having a Halloween party at the ol’ house tomorrow night. It should be a blast. We’ve been really excited about it. For instance, I spent all Monday night decorating instead of doing homework, from like 8pm until 1am. It was fun. :) If you’re in the area and haven’t heard about the party yet, consider this your invitation and get on over here. Costumes not required, but requested. I’ll be the Aragorn-looking guy. *grin*
Guess what I got yesterday? *bounces up and down* Contacts! :) They cost my every last penny (actually, $2 more than my every last penny, so I’ll have to deposit a couple bucks today to avoid an overage), but I finally have my blue eyes back. I love the look of my glasses and all, but I hate the fact that when I’m wearing them, people can hang out with me for months and still believe my eyes to be brown due to some stupid optical trick my glasses pull. Course, then I get contacts, and everybody says, “Oh! You got colored contacts!” Meh.
Summary: Leave me a comment (with name/email or url), come to my party (with or without a costume), and admire my baby blues (with or without sarcasm).

*sigh* Okay, it doesn’t work the way I wanted it to. In order for me to get what I want, I’m going to have to turn on Typekey, and I don’t want to do that right now. So forget what I said about comment approval. It’s the same amount of work as before. :(

Rob…go for MT Blacklist it’s what I use and I’m up to about 15 or so spammers on a daily basis (that don’t get to post). It’s annoying, but once their URL is in your database no one can post with it. Plus it goes through and automatically cleans the comment from your system.
Not a fool proof system, but it helps greatly.

The system is pretty fair, I think: even I have to get approved for comments. :)
