Spam comments hitting Acronym

First of all, let me apologize to anyone following Acronym comments via an RSS feed of some kind--we've had a bunch of spam comments getting through our filters.

The bad news is, until we get it figured out, we're having to turn on comment moderation, so there will be a delay before your comments are live on the blog. We'll be checking regularly during business hours, so the delay shouldn't be too long. It will be more sporadic, but we'll also check overnight and on weekends. We're sorry for this inconvenience. We hope to have the problem fixed soon and to be able to turn real-time comments back on.

For those of you who do follow a comments feed, it's possible a few more spam comments will get through as we experiment to try to solve the problem. Thank you for bearing with us.

I am having the same problem with my blog. I have to go in every morning and clean out spammer comments. But they still are circulated through the comment feed. For now I am not moderating comments. Tony

Thanks for sharing Tony. It's pretty frustrating isn't it? We're getting 2 or 3 an hour even though they haven't been getting published for several days now. Yuck!

Unfortunately, it looks like we'll have to moderate the comments for a little while longer. Thanks for your patience everybody -- we'll make your comments live as soon as we see them!
