Take your best shot, Spammers

Loving wordpress so far. It has a feature where you can set that if a comment contains more than X links in it, it will sit in a queue until you approve of it. I thought it was just a cute little feature, but then I noticed yesterday that I had 5 posts sitting in my queue! Lo and behold, I had 5 comments with about 30 links for poker sites all awaiting moderation! They were kept off the site, and I was able to click “Delete all” and make them all go away. Brilliant feature. The “no-follow” tag will prevent spammers from getting credit for their work, but this feature prevents your visitors from seeing them at all. That’s the power of Open Source. When you have bazillions of people working on a project for the common good, someone comes up with a good idea or two.

  • Very exceptional pieces of information. Very nice webpage though. I applaud

  • I am not sure that it is a nifty feature, the community was set up to allow others to build on your ideas, and to help the juices of ones mind help others, I know that there are a few out there trying to destroy the creative of us, but for someone not to get credit due to the rel=nofollow tag thats just a shame, and again stops us from all commenting on the great work of bloggers like myself and others who contribute to my article directory and and othere items.

    I am not being negative just like things to be on an even playing field, I done a simple serch on my article directory for spamming and had about 30 articles on it, all really good stuff and it sure is becoming annoying, heres the link, you can delete it if you wish. http://www.talkinmince.com/articledetail.php?artid=12004&catid=125

    Many thanks for listening to my rambelings, and I like the site great info.
