I had to disable comments (although I think the code that I was using was not 'complete') for a couple of reasons. The first was because the spamming was getting on my nerves. It wasn't a lot but it was this constant stream that was just annoying. The problem with that of course is that you cut off communication, but communication continues in different outlets as far as I'm concerned (like I said in different places).
I'll have a look around and see what are the best things out there, maybe we can make ourselves a homebrew plugin that collects things and puts them in one place (ie on the side) :) On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 8:07 AM, Andy C <[email protected]> wrote: > > Disqus had a few attractions and I like the service. > > I don't mind outsourcing my comments (after all they're as much your > comments as mine) but unfortunately, spammers (and Disqus' failure to > deal with them effectively) have spoiled the service. > > If Habari had a Disqus XML importer, I also would strongly consider > moving back to native comments (with Defensio) where you only > outsource the anti-spam measures. > > On Sep 23, 5:28 am, "Michael C.
