MT Blacklist
So, despite not posting that often, I get a lot of spam on this blog. As a result, I've resorted to using Movable Type's MT Blacklist plug-in (thanks, Cameron) to de-spam my blog. Using MT Blacklist, I can de-spam my blog in minutes, deleting comments advertising sites for poker, pharmaceuticals, and gift baskets in minutes.
Unfortunately, there's no way to specify registered users whose comments I want to keep (at least, none that I've found). As a result, I keep accidentally deleting comments from my friends. So, if your comment has been deleted, I apologize. I promise it wasn't because I didn't like the content of your message - it's just because I've been trigger-happy on the de-spamming button.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might end this madness altogether? Or is blog spam just the price I'm going to keep paying for my (limited) popularity?
Comments
Why not move to blogger.com? I never get spam on my 3 blogs with them. Everyone I know using MT get's spammed to death - not sure why this is. BTW: Your blog no longer allows you to submit comments if you supply a URL in the URL field.

You could download the livejournal gpl code and install it on a machine, then redirect your domain accordingly.
