    Thanks!
    I can’t believe it. No more online poker. Thank you thank you.

    Why not count the encoding itself as a spam indicator? There’s no reason for normal commentors to encode characters.

  3. Edlef (3 comments.) says:

    Great plugin!! I think Michael M. is right with his comment ;-)

  4. Mark (34 comments.) says:

    That makes sense Michael. However, I think it would be the preference of the blog owner. On this blog, your observation makes sense. I do not know how it would be different for anyone else, but someone MIGHT be encoding for some reason. :)
    I should make it a choice. I wish I could come up with an acceptable way of configuring plugins from the admin interface.

    There is a definite problem with this plugin. I downloaded it yesterday and activated it. There was no problems until I was receiving emails that people were not able to post comments on my website. It seemed that it changed the link of the “Say It” where you submit the comment (like your “Post” button below) so that it goes to http://www.fbi.gov website.

    The minute I deactivated the plugin, people were able to post comments again. Please let me know how this is able to be fixed and if anybody else had this problem.

  6. Mark says:

    Please make sure that there are no lingering spaces or blank new lines within your common spam words inside the wp admin interface.

  7. Poonam (10 comments.) says:

    is this found in the threestrikes.php plugin itself? What file should I check?

    Spam is getting worse and worse..argh..

  8. Mark says:

    Look under your wp-admin interface, under options->discussion->common spam words

  9. Poonam (10 comments.) says:

    Found it. Thanks. :)

  10. Poonam (10 comments.) says:

    I would like your spam words Mark.

    What have I done wrong

    Ken

  12. Mark says:

    Try and install the plugin again, Sounds like you have a space somewhere. (especially at the end of the file, after ?%gt;

  13. Ken Dixon (3 comments.) says:

    Thanks works now

    Ken

  14. Ken Dixon (3 comments.) says:

    I have installed ‘three strikes’ and it works no more spam from the pokerman.
    Thanks

    Ken

  15. Alex says:

    I’ve been having some problems with these spam plugins. After installing three strikes, the wp-login.php page gave me this error:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/moero/www/www/blog/wp-content/plugins/threestrikes.php:2) in /home/moero/www/www/blog/wp-admin/index.php on line 13

    If anybody could give me a hand here, that would be great. Thank you!!

  16. Mark says:

    Make sure there is no space between the beginning of the plugin and the first angle bracket.

  17. Dave Seah (1 comments.) says:

    I’ve noticed an issue with comments that contain single quotes and double quotes…they get escaped with an extra slash if ThreeStrikesSpam is activated. It seems that add_magic_quotes is being called twice on $_POST: once in 3SS, and again in wp-comments-post.php in my WP 1.2 install. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  18. Mark says:

    If that happens, you can take out these lines:
    if ($_POST[‘comment’] && !is_array($_POST[‘comment’])) {
    //Make sure the information received is parsed, cleaned and stripped correctly (from WP codebase)
    if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
    $_POST = add_magic_quotes($_POST);
    $_COOKIE = add_magic_quotes($_COOKIE);
    }

    hope this works!! thanks….

  20. Andrea says:

    I’m using WP 1.2. I do not have a section wp-content. Was it supposed to be automatically installed or do I just need to create it myself along with a plugins subdir? Thank you.

  21. Andrea says:

    NM. I went ahead and created the wp-content and installed plugin as advised. It’s working perfectly. Thanks for posting this. It’s going to make my life a lot easier.

  22. a-giau (1 comments.) says:

    Looks like the CVS has code for treating encoded low ASCII as spam indicator:

  23. shannon (1 comments.) says:

    Can I get your spam words please?

  24. Brenda says:

    Umm… I am having a problem. The plugin used to work fine. But when I tested it out just now, I keep getting errors such as the following instead of getting redirected to the FBI site.

    I have deactivated the plugin, downloaded a new copy, uploaded it, and reactivated it again. But still no avail. :(

  25. amy (2 comments.) says:

    Hi,
    I’m brand new to plugins, so sorry for the uninformed question, but when you say “enable it within your admin interface”, do you mean setting the permissions? If so, what should they be? If not, what does it mean?
    Thanks for making your work available like this,
    Amy

  26. Mark says:

    Thats no problem Amy. It means to go to the admin of your blog, click on plugins and Activate the plugin in question. (click on the activate button on the right)

  27. Nulla Salus says:

    Removing these lines only made my blog disappear, as in a white screen appeared instead.

  28. OkieBoy (3 comments.) says:

    I’ve upgraded my threestrikes plugin to threestrikes12.php and it works great to catch the bad stuff, for what it’s worth, so did the previous one.

    But just like with the original threestrikes I still have the problem of backslashes showing up in comments before apostrophes and quote marks. I saw the post above and looked for that code supplied to delete it but do not find it in the plugin’s code.

    Any other place to look or something else to try? Thanks!

  29. OkieBoy (3 comments.) says:

    OK, found a quick-easy fix for the backslash problem at http://bish.lechoso.com/category/web-dev/

    It’s a one line addition to the vars.php file in the wp-includes directory that adds a filter to remove them.

    Add this line:

    add_filter(‘comment_text’, ‘stripslashes’);

    below the rest of the filters. Works fine!
