I am aware that there are problems with comments.

This problem is the fault of spammers, who are bastards all, and deserve seeping venerial diseases for filling my server up with such total crap.

Because of spammers, I have to run a plugin called MT-Blacklist, and MT-Blacklist occasionally just freaks out and stops working properly. I personally read through my entire list and couldn’t find anything that should be blocking comments from, for instance, “Cooter”. So I shut off the plugin, deleted the list, and installed the latest one.

Please send a carrier pigeon if you continue to experience problems with comments.
