Cleaning up this site's act

9:28 PM / Web / CommentsNo Comments

In an attempt to cut down on the spam that's been accumulating on this site recently, I've installed the Blog Janitor plugin for Movable Type and set it to disable commenting on all entries over 30 days old.

It's rather irritating to have to do this, but it should hopefully cut down on the amount of maintenance I'm currently having to do (most of the spam comments end up being posted in entries that were written several weeks ago), and in any event it's fairly rare for anyone to want to reply to anything older than that. If you want to comment on something from an older entry, you'd probably be as well leaving it on a more recent entry and linking back to the post you're referring to.

Note: to combat spam and simplify site maintenance, all comments must be approved prior to appearing on the site. This is a necessary evil due to the volume of spam the site receives.
