Comment Registration, It’s On Motherfuckers

The comment spammers still haven’t let up trying to post ads in the comments of the entries on the site. Configuring the site to approve comments just means that I have to sift through tons of comment spam and delete them before they hit the site. I really don’t have time for that! So now I’ve setup comment registration in which users register through Movable Type’s free service called TypeKey to post comments on the site. I think that this will be a much better solution to cut down on comment spam–let’s see how this works.

  3. Okay, this appears to be working. I hope that the volume of legitimate comments on the site doesn’t drop because of this. I know that many people are hesitant to register for anything nowadays, but we’ll see. It will be an interesting social behavior experiment I guess. Stay tuned.
