For those of you who don’t read a lot of weblogs, and who don’t use Movable Type, there has been a second rash of comment spammers hitting Motable Type weblogs. One of the comments suggested over at Making Light was to removed the Post button and force those who posted comments to Preview their comments first.

Having written my share of regrettable posts to BBSes (lo those manyyears ago) and having sent more than my share of regrettable e-mail messages(!) this seemed like a Very Good Idea.

So, as of now, to post a comment you must first preview the comment. It’s just one extra step, but it is slightly different.

The only drawback is that I am not a MT guru, so if you come across a problem caused by this, please let me know so I can fix things!
