Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

I figured I'd start a discussion on whether or not the spam plugin that 
Tom Willet did should be included in Geeklog by default (ala Static 
Pages). 

I think it should be as that would be a proactive step on our part and 
by packaging it in Geeklog it would elimiate concern regarding its 
installation (not that there are that many).

I received a couple of comments along the lines of -- I am glad you did this 
since the developers didn't fix the security problems which allowed it.  I 
tried to explain that wasn't the case.

In other words, there is the perception by some that comment spam is failure 
on geeklog's part.

Along the same lines, you might be interested to know (if you don't) that 
the new version of Movable Type does not support the current MT-Blacklist 
plugin and it caused a real stink.

Whether you use my plugin or something else entirely, I think it is a good 
idea.

Yeah, well, good thing none of us loose too much sleep over the 
perceptions other have regardless or not their claims have merit or not ;-)

Of course, I'm quick to fly off the handle when they lump this sort of 
stuff as 'security problems'.  If they don't regard spam in email as a 
'security problem' then they shouldn't do so here. 

Regardless, thanks a lot for the work.  I think if we do add this we 
should all spend a little time reviewing the code and giving it the due 
diliegence it deserves.
