There's a plugin available for WordPress where it shuts-off comments after a specified number of days that the author chooses. There are other goodies like password protect certain posts (or even the entire blog); get users to register for commenting (unlike Typepad which is a centralized service)and receive future comments on a given post by email. This list goes on and on. I guess it’s time to move on from Movabletype to WordPress (my take of-course).

It was never an issue with blogger, but its one hell of a problem when people move to MT, Typepad, etc. I second Chetan's opinion about WordPress. It has a handy plugin for blocking blacklisted commenters. Well, the blacklist itself is taken from Jay Allen's list, but what makes WordPress better is the intuitive plugin interface it uses. Makes it easy to use. To digress... I'm moving my blog from blogger to WordPress. So I shall soon contact you to modify my blog info on the indianbloggers list! :-) Comment spam is a headache, I agree.

Funny that... "There's a plugin available for WordPress where it shuts-off comments after a specified number of days that the author chooses." Yes, it's called WP-Blacklist. Wonder where they came up with that. Anyhow, the next version of MT-Blacklist does this and far far more. Of course, I'm sure that WP-Blacklist will add the new functionality as well (I encourage it even). Hold on for a bit and you'll see what I'm talking about...
