Since people are still commenting and the access logs show scads of 403s, I pronounce this the Ugly Hack that Could.

And the links to the comment page from the RSS feed still works, unlike the stuff tried last night. W00t! Ben is the hero!

Except McGrattan can't comment.

Hey, who's taking my name in vain? I shall strike you down.

Clever if a bit confusing in execution. I award w/d nine points.

I had hoped to get those two in as the first two comments in this thread. I'm otherwise pleased, though I wish hadn't forgotten who posted the third comment and what it said. If I had that, I could have gotten to the family circus mention. Thanks for the 9 points.

6: I'm sort of busy right now, can I be struck down later?

can I be struck down later?

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

I'm busy too, let's just forget the striking down.

This time.

Ben, is your hack still in or did you take it out because of McGrattan? Just wondering since Urple got an ISE in another thread.

Still in.

And I just got a 500 myself on that comment.

Thanks. Just wondering since the ISEs are related, although not dependent.

I'm deriving an absurd amount of satisfaction from watching the 403s scroll by as I tail -f the access log.

Hott.

So, for us less technically savvy pikers, what is this hack doing? Requiring that a POST command actually originate from the comment page proper?

Yeah, I'd love to be comprehendingly, rather than ignorantly, admiring.

My 403 problem has gone away. It was a browser thing at my end.

21 - Yeah, pretty much.

23 - Good. Glad to hear it.
