I fixed a bug in my Movable Type anti-spam plugin, HMPassphrase (previous post) that prevented the junk scoring mode from working.
I had a few people email me to say it wasn't working for them, but it was kind of hard to debug until I hand-patched a bug in Movable Type itself that caused it to emit useless error messages when plugins failed.
HMPassphrase is the most effective anti-spam plugin for Movable Type that I know of.
Posted by jjwiseman at April 05, 2006 05:06 PMJohn -- I just installed HMPassphrase and I'm so eager to get it up and running (I'm getting roughly 1500 spam comments a day, most, but not all, being caught by MT's other tools).
But I'm stalled at the point where I add the input field to my comments page.
Can you point me to an example I can check?
Thanks -- and thanks for HMPassphrase...

And it's working great!
Posted by: Joseph Holmes on April 11, 2006 01:16 PMThanks for the fix.
I had installed the old version just a couple days earlier.
Now it's working fine!

Sorry for the problem, Tony. I restarted it about 10 minutes after you posted your comment.

I'm excited to try out HMPassphrase! Unfortunately, I seem to be having the same problem as Tony did.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Posted by: Ben on May 31, 2006 10:59 AMBen, I apologize. The server occasionally goes down, and sometimes it takes me a day or two to notice. It should be up now.
Got it! Thanks so much!
Posted by: Ben on June 5, 2006 01:56 PMHi Ben,
Sorry to be a pain, but I cannot find the space to add the field. I can find every comment template except for the comment section. Any ideas?
It's the same problem as Joseph - I am just not sure how he solved it!
Thanks!
Claudia
