It Never Stops
A few days ago, I responded to a storm of comment spam by requiring commenters to acquire and use TypeKey Identities. As of this morning, however, the attempt to sign in meets with the following:
Comment Submission Error
Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:
The sign-in validation failed.
Peachy, huh? While I wait for advice from Six Apart support, I've removed the TypeKey Identity, and rolled up my sleeves to repel more spam. PS: It's already back.
Update: The storm resumed immediately; in a few hours, I've brushed off well over a hundred comments. TypeKey sign-ins appear to work again; I can only assume that there was a glitch at the server. In any case, I'm requiring authentication once more, as you'll see.

Ah, this modern world of ours - Vandals 'round every corner, it would seem. Force them to eat cold porridge, I say!

It is the nature of the current structure of the Net and the hegemony of Windows, MicroSoft and IE6 that allows this anarchy to continue. What we need is a new Net architecture from the ground up and a browser structure that works. In the meanwhile you have no choice but to use TypeKey ID's or go to registered users. It is just cyber vandalism of the highest order. I suspect that you're being hit because someone, somewhere, somehow is tracking your stats. There are services that actually provide lists of blogs with new postings. It doesn't even rate being compared to graffiti which at least has some artistic value. Cold porridge would be far too nice. Perhaps, super gluing their fingers to the keyboard or some other twist on 15th century Jesuit ideas of retribution.
