MT-Blacklist: Let The Comment Spam Smackdown Commence

Posted on October 14, 2003

Jay Allen has become my new hero. In an heroic feat of coding, he has created MT-Blacklist, a Movable Type plugin to implement real-time blacklisting to stop the plague of comment spam that’s recently been all over MT-based blogs.

You’ve gotta love any piece of software where the first line of the documentation is “I’ve not slept for the last 40 hours.” 🙂

I’ve installed MT-Blacklist on my server, so let’s see if this puts an end to the comment spamming once and for all. Here’s hoping. Congratulations to Jay for getting this out the door!
