Lately I’ve been bombarded with comment spam (free online poker anyone?).
I have expanded the list of keywords that flag a comment as potential spam, thus requiring manual admin approval before it is posted. This is still annoying, though, as I have to disapprove the spam every time it is posted. Therefore, I have implemented a simple but hopefully effective automatic anti-comment-spam solution based on Elliott Back’s Spam Stopgap Extreme. The only downside is that it requires Javascript to be enabled in order to post comments. If for some reason you are unable to post a comment, please email me at digitalhobbit AT digitalhobbit DOT com.
Just testing if commenting still works, using Firefox.
Testing again, this time using IE.
And yet another test. Just wanted to see what happens when I let the comment page sit for a few minutes before submitting.
And now testing commenting very quickly.
OK, I need to spam myself one more time to test this. Just installed version 1.4 of the Spam Stopgap Extreme plugin.
