get rid of junk comments
© 2007 Apple Inc.Probably not a lot of people reading my blog are using MovableType to blog themselves. Nevertheless I am very glad that I've solved my junk comment problem with this MT plugin: HMPassphrase
The mechanism is simple: The plugin introduces a new field in the comment submit form. If this field is not filled in correctly, the comment is rejected. This is a great relief for me since I usually had one spam comment every 10 minutes - at least.
So have fun to comment on any entry you like, an don't forget to fill "jaja" in the extra field...
