Comment Spam

Lately I’ve been seeing some blog comment spam on some older entries. If you comment on my entries, you might have gotten a few “Someone has commented” e-mails from my blog. This annoys me, too.

I’ve turned off comments to any blog entries older than June 1, 2008. Being the database geek I am, it wasn’t all that hard. I might just have to set up a cron job on my database that will turn off comments to anything older than a month. But for right now, this should work fairly well.

I’ve also updated the blacklist/whitelist module in Expression Engine. Hopefully that will help, too.

1. Or you could expire them in EE itself

   I’m a fan of Captcha’s for this too.

About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Boston with my pug, Reggie. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in January 2003 but have been living with MS for much longer than that. This is where you'll find my story, stories, and my history.

I want this site to be a place where people can read about my experiences with MS. I was fortunate enough to catch it really early and my results on drug therapies have been outstanding. This should be a place where people can realize that they can lead a normal life with MS. MS has changed my life, but it hasn't ended it.
