If you've tried to comment recently, you've probably noticed that it doesn't appear right away after you post.
I changed my configuration after upgrading to the latest version of Moveable Type so that all comments must be approved before they actually show up on the site. I'm getting bombarded with comment spam and I'm sick of having to clean it all up after the bastards have already used my site for promoting their online pharmacy/casino/XXX porno/get-a-free-ipod-ask-me-how sites.
Even the MT Blacklist filters weren't keeping much out, so until I can find a better way to deal with it, I'm approving comments manually...
