Die, spammer, die!
Posted in Life on October 8th, 2004After waking up this morning to 36 comment moderation requests, all due to comment spamming, I decided it was time to roll out the big guns to prevent further work. Knowing that WordPress here uses plugins to make changes to the basic idea, I went looking and came up with The Three-Strikes comment spam filter.
What it does is analyze a comment for spam keywords, and uses a weighted point system to grade it. The more keyword hits, the higher the score. Score high enough, and your comment gets deleted without ever being posted, and you get redirected to the FBI website.
At least, that’s the theory. Let me know if it gives you problems.
