The Winds of Change.NET Guide to Fighting Comment Spam
Six Apart, the folks behind the Movable Type software that runs this site, have just released a Guide for Fighting Comment spam on weblogs via comments, trackbacks, etc. As you might imagine, Jay Allen played a big role in compiling it. It's worth any blogger's time, especially those who run MT installations. We use our own mix of techniques here at Winds of Change.NET. I'm going to go well beyond the Six Apart guide and give you some general principles for building your own blog's defenses, then move on to what we're up to so you can see some of these ideas in action. I'll conclude by talking about the source of this problem, and what can be done. Further thoughts and suggestions will be welcome in Winds of Chnage.NET's comments section, of course, and our post will probably evolve over time.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.) As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent. We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view. If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post. |
