Spammin Comments

1 April 2009

Well, it would seem this little site has attracted some spammers! An imminent security patch for Comments, release 7, will have some anti-spam built in in the form of a CAPTCHA. This site's currently running Comments 7 RC1, which is testing out the system. It's also got more informative and sarcastic error messages ("You do not appear to be human. Try filling out the captcha next time."), so admins know exactly what went wrong. Speaking of admins, the admin panel has a few minor improvements, such as the addition of a "Continue moderating..." button, so you don't have to remember what page you had selected.

I'll see how it goes. If the spam on the comment threads lowers, then RC1 will be released into the wild. If not... I'll have to find a more complex solution.

Formatting:
[b] for bold, [i] for italicized text, [u] for underline, and links are [url=link]Text[/url] or [url]link location[/url]
