There is a reason an ad for the Fur's hosting company is there at the top of the page. Uh, they paid for it. But more than that, the Fur is proud to have Haus Interactive's ad at the top, and today provides an example why.

I largely approve comments for Harlem Fur via emails sent to my phone, as I seriously get a lot of enjoyment seeing them pop up during the day (usually from Melita, Berry and Tanya). Even with some fairly professional grade defenses, I expect 10 or so spam submissions to make it throu the filters a day, which is no big deal.

However, this afternoon my phone started to beep like a 1980's video game and in the blink of an eye I had 40 odd spam submissions and counting. I was already taking off from the office a bit early due to a disorienting head cold, and did not have the concentration to figure out how to stop this. So, I sent a message to Haus, and in less than 5 minutes everything was right and nice. Amazing.

So just to be sure all is good, tonight I included a small addition below the text field for submitting a comment, which will also make them appear instantly if all checks out. For anyone else out there using Movable Type, I highly recommend this addition.

On a side note, when searching for an image of spam to include in this post, I noticed, based on Google searches, that every blog on earth at some point covers the topic of being spammed. Consider this requirement for the Fur done and checked.
