I make a comment about this fact today an *BAM* I get one. I blame you ;) Continuing the TypeKey subject, this post didn't make me get an account but I did get one when you first enabled TypeKey support. It was the first time I had been presented with the option. BTW, could you add a preview button here? Some of us are less than perfect. Oh great, I go a month with no comment spam.

But I'm kinda curious... "I got one out of curiosity, but it gives me the willies because it is tied to the MT folks." Are we *that* scary? :) And Ölbaum, I've passed on the name bug to our dev team.

I think people are running bots that just auto-post crap all over all the entries on people's blogs. Because a lot of the comments end up on months-old articles. I HATE SPAM! >:( Jared I don't have the latest version of WordPress, so I just had to turn on moderation because my blog was getting filled up with garbage at an unheard of rate.

Not every day but when it would happen there would be 3-5 at once. The quantity may be relatively small because the server is so slow. A little over a month ago I renamed MT's comments.cgi and since then I've had zero comment spam. renaming the default "mt" directory where the .cgi's reside is a good idea too but I haven't gone to that trouble yet. That being said, I think TypeKey is a fine idea. What I'd like though is for blogs to be able support multiple authentication sites, TypeKey shouldn't be the only one. If there are multiple authentication sites, blogs need to support them all or else you end up with Balkanization. My blog is lame and obscure but even *I've* had comment spam problems.
