Comment, Again? - Port 25: The Open Source Community at Microsoft

Comment, Again? by jcannon on September 14, 2006 02:09PM

Over the past weekend, we discovered that some of the comments being posted to our blogs were being caught by the Community Server spam filter. Usually, this wouldn't be a bad thing - especially if you were around when we launched Port 25. However, the algorithm for catching spam had been unknowingly set to the strictest interpretation due to a recent server upgrade...so many benign comments had been caught over the past couple weeks.

This has been corrected & all comments have been set to publish. If you've had this happen to you - we apologize. Comment away! If you ever feel like something on the site isn't working the way it's supposed to - please let us know.

To make up for our oversight, the video below should provide a good laugh for anyone who works in IT - regardless of what operating system or development models you subscribe to :)



Thank you Long Zheng (I Started Something) for blogging about 4.

    Hi I'm Mulgrave. Just kidding. My name's actually Long. I don't know where Jamie got Mulgrave from. But he linked me. Can't complain. Even if he mistook a suburb for a person's name. :)

  3. Good to see it back!  I wondered why the comments had dropped off so suddenly.  At one stage there was quite a vibrant little community set up around Port25, and then it vanished, without explanation.
