Sometimes MT is not very smart

I LOVE Movable Type, but am having a heckuva time with comments: spam about hydrocodone and Vi@gr@ cheep get through the comment filtering immediately and are automatically posted on my blog. And then comments from real people are often junked.
I just tried to leave a comment ON MY OWN BLOG and MT junked it. I’m starting to wonder what exactly their comment filtering does. Maybe it’s just based on a random number generator…

    I tried to improve the intelligence of MT by adding a new plugin for you. It was getting good reviews in the plugins area, so I thought we could give it a try. I’m not sure if it will help with the e-mail problem, but we can also try to tackle that one.

    Okay, so maybe my installation of fancy comment filtering software didn’t work so smoothly. It worked fine for me last night. Let’s see what’s happening.

    I think I figured out the problem. Folks will need to refresh the page before they leave a comment. The JavaScript is not getting updated with the new code and that prevents the comment from posting.

    test run… I’m glad some people know how to work these things out! I am truly clueless.
