Change in Commenting Policy

I made a small change in commenting policy. I am experimentally blocking comments from “open and insecure proxies”. This is to prevent the deluge of comment spam I have been getting lately on this blog (over 3000 per day). If you find yourself unable to comment on my blog please email me at angsuman[at]taragana[dot]com and let me know.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

How to block comments from open and insecure proxies?

  1. Login as administrator.
  2. Go to Options and then Discussion.
  3. Check - Blacklist comments from open and insecure proxies.
  4. Click on Update Options

Hi,

Could you explain how one can block open and insecure proxies? I’m looking to do it as well and any info you give would be appreciated :)

Thanks
