Spambots and Orablogs

Mmmm, I noticed an earlier posting didn’t appear on Orablogs and I almost missed one of Niall’s too, so I reckon Orablogs doesn’t like the word verification feature that helps to avoid spam. So I’m switching it off for now and will delete any nonsense that turns up …

  1. Orablogs shouldn’t be affected by something like that… There’s a worst case 20 minute delay before articles will be pulled into the aggregator after being made available via rss.

    If you spot any problems with articles not showing up, drop me an email at brian dot duff at oracle dot com.

  2. Brian,

    That’s the danger of making assumptions! I didn’t notice one that I knew I’d posted, probaly because it had rolled round the RSS feed I pull into My Yahoo. My mistake entirely and I happened to catch Niall’s blog entry just before it appeared on Orablogs, so that was the final evidence!

    I’ve put the word verification back on now.

    Cheers,

    Doug
