Regular readers know that I have been waging an ongoing war against spammers and a few months ago I enabled a filter that keeps comments from being published until I give them an ok. But the way it was supposed to work is that once I ok'd a comment from a certain email address, the filter was supposed to "trust" comments from that address and publish them automatically in the future. Well, this has never worked and many of you probably get the same waiting for approval message every time you comment. I think I've fixed the problem now, and I'm conducting an experiment. I've marked some of my regular commenters as "trusted" while other's I've left as "untrusted" so I can see the difference in the site's treatment between the two. Please help me by leaving a brief comment here so I can see how the new settings work. If you're one of the "untrusted" test group, please know that you aren't really untrusted and that you will soon be included with the rest. Thanks!
