Given the increase in comment spam on this site, I have configured the comment function so that anonymous comments have to be approved before they are posted. I know that this may be a pain, but it’s my only option until I install Drupal 4.5. You should be able to log on to this site with a Drupal password (tell me if you can’t), or you can contact me and set up an account on this site.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I’m tired of cleaning up all the spam every day.
Update: And now everything you wanted to know about comment spam and how to fight it, from Six Apart. The recommendations are specific to Movable Type, but may be of interest to others.
Testing Anonymous
Hi Harold.
I’m just testing that anonymous users can post to the queue. – Don’t need an account to post – If I had an account would my post go up immediately?
Anon. commentsYes, your comment was put into the queue, and I was able to approve it. Guess that means it works ;-)
I can set you up with an account on this site – I just need your e-mail.
Drupal PasswordI just tried to log in with my own Drupal password, but it doesn’t work. Any other drupal members, please tell me if you’re able to do it. Thanks.
No, I couldn’t either
Sorry Harold, It didn’t work for me either.
