The comments sage continues

Geez.  I am really hating technology right now.  I get soooo many spam comments, so I've been trying to figure out what I can do on Movable Type to stop them.  I've finally decided the only way to really do it to require comments to be authenticated.  Is that just too annoying?  I hate having to sign into stuff to comment, but I can't see any other way that doesn't require me to wade thourgh thousands of junk  comments just to find the 6 real ones.  Email me at zarah at beautyschooldropout dot net if you don't want to sign in.

I think this works just fine. The comment spam has gotten annoying. I think I have a plug-in but I'm not sure how that all gets put onto my blog. I do know I don't get a lot of junk e-mail any more (I still get the comments, but they get junked in my junk folder).

I don't mind signing in either. I had to go to this too. Spammers are crackheads.

I totally understand the spam thing - I get hundreds and hundreds a day of spam comments... Wordpress has some pretty good anti-spam software, but I don't know about MT.

Good luck, girl!
