Comment spam

I've been up to my eyeballs in spam recently. This new 3.33 version of Movable Type is great for moderation but not so good on verification (still entirely reliant on Typekey which, for most, is one inconvenience too many).

I tried out Scode which seemed to work fine unless an error was encountered and then it returned the incorrect error message - as spotted by Paul Linford of Belper (nice title should he ever become a Peer of the Realm).

So now I have switched to Jay Allen's Comment Challenge which requires you to type a word to verify that you are indeed a real human. Unfortunately, try as I might, I cannot get this to work with my preview comment form so I have now disabled that function - you cannot preview your comment anymore, so you must get it right first time.

The pressure is on.
