Out Flooded

I had another bout with comment spam flooding which shut my account down for about 8 hours last night. In the continuing fight to keep spam flooding under control, I’ve instituted a 10 comment per hour limit, and 100 per day limit. I doubt either will be reached by normal standards, and it will hopefully prevent the constant hammering my host has apparently been getting through my site. If a thread does happen to open up, I can adjust those settings accordingly.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I’m doing everything I can to keep comments running. I’ll take them down as a last resort, but I’d feel like that was giving in, and I don’t want to let them see me cry…just kidding.
Anyway, hope this new policy works.

  1. I had this problem with my late host, aplus.net, which couldn’t seem to get it under control and felt it was all my problem.
    Since I moved my page to hosting matters, the problem seems to have gone away with MT 3.14 without having to limit comments.
