Just discovered that a comment on my blog from Ted the other day got marked as spam by the TypePad anti-spam system.<\/p>\n
I do look at comments that get held for moderation, but I don't generally look at comments that get marked as spam—I'm getting somewhere on the order of 2000 a day. So I would never have known about Ted's comment if he hadn't dropped me a note to let me know it had gone missing.<\/p>\n
So if you post a comment in my blog and it doesn't appear immediately, can't hurt to ping me to let me know about it.<\/p>\n
Apologies to Ted—I think this is the first time that TypePad anti-spam has let me down. Mostly it's been very good about catching spam, as far as I can tell.<\/p>\n
This kind of thing is exactly why I was nervous about using an automated spam filter. But the alternative is to go back to sorting through a couple thousand pieces of comment spam a day by hand—which is to say, the alternative is really to stop allowing comments on my blog.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
