comment delays

filed under technobabble

Robyn just reminded me of something I've been meaning to say here: If you post a comment with more than one link, it will be held for review. You'll see this message:

Thank You for Commenting. Or trying to.

Your comment has been received. To protect against malicious comments, MT has included an overly pious and rigorous screening system that may decide to hold your comment hostage until I sacrifice a dozen sheep. I am trying to convince MT that this is not strictly necessary, and that people who have posted here many times in the past are indeed safe, and not casino managers hiding in friend's clothing.

However, MT is a tricksy beast and deeply paranoid at heart. If you are reading this message, it could be that it has found a way around my demands that it relax and cut back on the caffeine, and gone back to pouncing on perfectly innocent commentary. Please don't submit the comment again, as this will only encourage further bad behavior on MT's part. I check (with great regularity) the hidey hole where MT puts all the comments it whisks away, and should yours end up there, I will restore it to its proper place in the universe in short order.

If you happen to be someone with a deeper understanding of the newest release of Movable Type than mine (which is a very large club) and you know why MT refuses to take my "trusted commenter" list into consideration, please do let me know.

I'm having trouble with the "trusted commenter" function as well. I posted a message about it to the MT Forum. Maybe they'll have some ideas...
