Comments on: Blogebrity http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2006/11/25/blogebrity/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I don't think I show up on any of these lists (must be down around the X- or Y-list), but I'm OK with that... It just reminds me how much I'm saving on bandwidth. Lorne Congrats, BA!

I've never really heard of it allowing so much spam through immediately, though. That's quite curious. I get a lot of spam, too, but it quarantines it all on its own.

I am using SpamKarma, and cannot figure out how to edit the regex list. It is killing lots of spam, but getting me in all sorts of other trouble. I have added Akismet, but when I turn SK off I get lots of spam getting through. The problem is getting pretty bad again. I have reservations about moving commenting to BAUT, but with the added rules in place I'm hoping it'll work out well. Yes, but I still get tons of emails and comments about it.

I almost feel like groveling, the idea bothers me so much. It's much easier and smoother to read lots of comments here - there's not all the "noise" of the board doodads, there's no conflict of allowable content, etc. For the problem now, all people have to do is "refresh" and see that their comment is there despite the error page; it's been discussed quite often.
