We recently upgraded to MovableType 3.3.1 because it fixed a bug that was causing the base name of an entry to get a number appended to it every time it was edited. This was very annoying. Sadly, with the upgrade, we've lost MT-Blacklist. I loved MT-Blacklist. MT-Blacklist had these features I loved:

1. It automatically held comments and trackbacks for moderation when a post was XX days old. If a post became popular again, it would publish everything for YY days again.
2. If a comment contained a naughty spam word, the person that submitted the comment would be told exactly what word was naughty so they could change the word and get their comment published. We have a huge list of naughty words, phrases, and domains a lot of spammers use.
3. Every single comment that was posted here that didn't have contents on the naughty list was emailed to us. As it stands now, comments being marked as junk aren't being emailed to use. There are currently 7446 junked comments I need to sort through...
4. MT-Blacklist never let a comment be ignored. I liked this as it meant all feedback was read. Due to the way MT Spam Lookup works, the lovely Drew Thaler's comments are always being junked because he loves using naughty words.
5. MT-Blacklist also showed how many times a particular entry in the naughty words list was "hit". This allowed us to remove one-time entries.
6. If a comment/trackback wasn't corrected, it wasn't even added to our server. It was completely and utterly obliterated. I liked this.

Is there anything like MT-Blacklist that can hopefully use the wordlist we've created and tell the user that submitted the comment what word(s) were naughty so they could correct them? Right now we are using Spam Lookup but it doesn't tell the user (or us) that their comment is junked and being held for moderation. Which is really quite depressing. Spam Lookup also doesn't let me set "naughty" words if these words appear in the name or email field of the comments. Some spammers always use variations of the same name. Even worse, Spam Lookup is publishing these evil spam comments so they appear on our blog until one of us can smite the evil.

I miss MT-Blacklist. The only thing I wish MT-Blacklist had (other than working with MT 3.3) was a known bad hosts lookup. Before when we have MT-Blacklist installed it took over for all the comment/trackback moderation so the SpamLookup stuff never had a chance to see if the host was an evil possessed zombie back from the dead (running Windows) for revenge on the Internets community on the blogosphere.

Yes, we are using Blacklist Connector for MT 3.2 but that doesn't tell the user why their comment was junked, nor does it allow them to edit the comment so it isn't naughty. Even worse, it doesn't email us these comments nor does it mark how many hits the naughty words in the naughty word lists get.
