I’m trying out a new comment spam filtering plugin for WordPress. It’s called WP-SpamFree. When I logged on this morning I had more than 600 spam comments just from overnight. There seem to be a lot more the last few days. WP-SpamFree promises to virtually eliminate comment spam, especially bot generated spam and not delete real comments. If it works I will gladly make a donation to their coffers.
So, let me know if your comments aren’t showing up. Keep in mind that first-time commenters and comments with questionable language or comments more than a couple links in them will automatically be held for moderation by me.
test test one two three…
comments with questionable language: f**k
comments with links: http://www.nin.com http://www.freerice.com
Well, the moderation part works Deb. I even have the ability to
censorwash your mouth out with soap young lady! 🙂So I just tried leaving a comment that said “lol :)” and it said that my comment was too short and to try again?? lol
So far so good. Except for the short comments. I looked thru the documentation and didn’t see anywhere where I could set the number of characters allowed. But I can live with that if that’s the worst.
Am I a first time commenter? If so, I need to thank you more. Good Luck!
Hey Jonco, I thought I would comment here for once, I enjoy your site a lot. Warm regards from Kenya!
