Movable Type

I saw a trickle of posts talking about problems with Movable Type over the weekend, Eric Rice and others. [Update: there is a link now.] His post was about how MT was causing a world of hurt with his hosting provider and getting his box shut down, which might have happened. Last night I tried to leave a comment on a post that I think is weird and gives me cognitive dissonance on Gaping Void. When I try, I get this:

Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:

Your comment could not be submitted due to questionable content: a com

Please correct the error in the form below, then press Post to post your comment.

So, I have no idea what the hell the problem is but I can’t post my comment until I correct it. Niiiiice. Is something boned in the stuff that determines if the post is comment spam or not?

      Hey Dave, here’s the link: http://eric.blognews.com/blog/_archives/2004/11/28/192676.html

      Not sure why my blog was offline— I’ve been fiddling with it all day.

      i just left a comment on that article and it took fine - were you on a mac or win system when you tried dave ;)
      anyway, comment spam is the devil - hope the six apart folks get it nailed sooner…

      Sounds like MT-Blacklist is preventing the posting. I believe that’s the “canned” response on a blacklist match (”a com”)?
