Commenting on Midas Oracle
Chris F. Masse July 1st, 2008
As you know, some people commenting here told me they went into trouble, even when they were logged in. I found out why. The anti-spam plugin “WP Spam Free” does not exempt registered blog users from its anti-spam checking. It only exempts the administrator (me). That’s absurd. (See the WP forum.) The registered users of Midas Oracle should be trusted a priori.
I didn’t know that. When some commenters complained to me, I thought they were completely drunk. Sorry for that, folks.
Which is why the plugin “WP Spam Free” is out (until its author comes back to his sense), and “Bad Behavior” is in.
Commenters, let me know whether the problems you got while trying to comment on Midas Oracle have disappeared. Thanks. I promise I’ll trust you, this time.

UPDATE: Bad Behavior proved to be good for my blog users, but lately, I endured an attack of spam comments (60 last night). So, I did disable Bad Behavior and re-enable WP Spam Free for a while… I’ll see what to do next… If you encounter problems, e-mail me. I think you should accept cookies and have JavaScript enabled in your browser…
