Dactyl Abuse
Posted by Michael.
(1) Nathaniel, have you noticed that the blog has been getting ‘a lot’ of rhymes-with-’yourmamasfatbutnotasfatasiam’ recently? I mean, not a whole lot, but I’ve deleted from moderation maybe a couple comments a day in the past couple weeks, up from ~1/week?
(2) I am attempting to run a piece of code that will take a couple days on dactyl, so if you can’t read this message anymore please let Nathaniel (and me, but he knows more) know so he can fix things. Hopefully it won’t break anything, but just in case.
And finally, since every post needs a picture/photo/graphic, and since this is a pretty nerdy post, here you go:

hmm, actually I hadn’t noticed. Let me turn up the severity of the spam filter.

Have they only been making it to moderation, or has the dreaded canned meat actually made it to being visible on the blog?

eh, it’s probably not a big deal, but we can see what a higher filter level does.
and no, only to moderation, not out in the open.

Leave a few in moderation so I can see what scores they got from the spam program and then I’ll make some changes.

oops, I just deleted two (identical ones) this morning. will do.
It’s actually kinda weird because I’d have to believe their scores would be sky-high, since the comments are nothing close to English, full of nonsense words and sex/viagra words.
