« Condi Rice at Vanderbilt | Main | Tennessee Legislature Prepares to Exceed Spending Cap » May 11, 2004Help!I am getting a strange "comment submission error" when I try to post comments to my own blog. It says: In an effort to curb malicious comment posting by abusive users, I've enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Please try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for your patience.Problem: I enabled no such feature and, in fact, can not find anywhere on my MovableType application a way to enable or disable such a feature. Anyone out there that can help me? Posted in Site News

Do you have MT-Blacklist installed? I think that's what causes the problem. Posted by: James Joyner at May 11, 2004 12:23 PMThis is a new feature of Movable Type as far as I know, that throttles comments to avoid spam problems. I have read some reports that incorrect timezone settings can cause this, if you have multiple blogs in different timezones. See this and this .. might be helpful. Incidentally, when I try to post from my office, I get "You are not allowed to post comments." What's up with that? Posted by: Chris Wage at May 11, 2004 12:49 PMNo, it's a new built-in feature of MT called "comment throttling", designed to alleviate comment-flooding by spammers. See this thread in the MT support forums: http://www.movabletype.org/support/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=38979 Posted by: Russ at May 11, 2004 12:54 PMAh yes, the lovely comment throttle feature. It can make you crazy because you have to wait at least 30 seconds (seems like I always have to wait longer on mine) between comment posts. If they made the software correctly, it "should" let the blog owner post replies to comments at whatever pace they want. Obviously, it wasn't programmed for that. Posted by: Teresa at May 11, 2004 06:04 PMChris - have you blocked any IP addresses for spamming or posting abusive comments? Perhaps you blocked a co-worker and you both work out of the same proxy. Posted by: Tom at May 11, 2004 08:28 PMTom, no, I meant that I get that message here, on billhobbs.com.. Posted by: Chris Wage at May 12, 2004 04:49 PMPost a comment
