grr, argh!
if it hadn’t been for a concerned email from Jamie, i would have thought all my friends had deserted me. turns out my crappyass cms — Movable Type 4.23 — which lets all the spammers in the world comment on my posts, was marking all of your helpful and appreciated cat name comments as spam. so very frustrating!
even after finding this out, approving y’all, marking you as trusted and sending more real spam to hell, it was still quarantining valid comments while posting bogus ones. FUCK!
i knew the spam situation would be the crappiest part of my participating nablopomo, but i thought it was just because of all the extra bad comments i’d receive, not having to constantly monitor to ensure that my lovely readers’ words of wisdom were being erroneously trashed.
please be assured that if your comment does not appear, i will find it and set it free. many heartfelt apologies go to Jamie and Jim, my most frequently shunned commenters. i’m so sorry if you felt unloved. it’s not me, it’s the fucking program. grr.
This is why I finally switched away from Moveable Type to WordPress even though it meant that I had to use a canned theme (because I didn’t have the energy to figure out how to make my own). Sigh. MT, you done us wrong one too many times.
