Scribbish Spam Comments in Typo

We've been getting a bunch of comment spam lately and they are still displayed when correctly marked as spam in Typo 4.0.3 with the Scribbish 2.0 theme. I believe this is fixed in Scribbish 3.0, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with our version of Typo. Here's a small patch to the Scribbish theme that only displays published comments instead of all comments.

    People still use Typo?

  2. Lee about 2 hours later:

    Looks like it.

    I believe we were on it before Mephisto came out and we haven’t had enough problems with Typo to look for a replacement.

  3. Mr. Mephisto about 3 hours later:

    Sorry. Bad joke. I meant no harm. Apologies.

  4. Lee about 3 hours later:

    No harm done. No apology necessary.

    Why did people move away from Typo? We just use it as a blogging tool, and it seems to work fine for us. What deficiencies are we not seeing?

    Thanks I am new to rails and looking to move to Typo after one too many WordPress hacks. When you loose your entire site you realise that those guys don’t have a clue what they are doing.
