Me vs. Movable Type

It seems that my little blog has recently been inadvertently blacklisted on Movable Type blogs that dont run the TypeKey anti spam authentication system

Kinda sucks no?

It first surfaced on Brooke Novak’s blog a few days ago, I though she mighta just been a bit overzealous in the blacklisted words list but now it’s happened at Lady Crumpets, a blog I’ve commented on numerous times in the past but stopped cold now.

I guess MT can’t handle the truth I’m tellin’…

EDIT: Interestingly, TypePad blogs like Mingaling’s let me comment, but not Movable Type ones, how bizarre.

    Hmmm. Maybe I’ve somehow blocked your domain through MT-Blacklist.

    I need to upgrade my MT platform.

    Maybe, it’s just been in the last few days it’s been happening though, most strange…

    That error would suggest an MT-Blacklist problem. Usually people configure MT-B to give TypeKey users a ‘free pass’ so that their comments are published without being checked. I personally don’t use MT-B anymore.

    That makes sense, as I believe MT-B has been discontinued as of MT v3.2, which I’ll assume TypePad blogs run and only those who update their MT installation run, older ones would prolly block me out…
