   This is a test comment. Make sure you do not include the words which could make you go Hmmmm…

   I have several plugins that have pretty much taken care of my spam problem, but, if I can consolidate it to a single plugin and not have to modify too much WordPress core code…That’d be awesome!

   My blog is http://www.justasimpleonlinenerd.com

   I’d be willing to test (I get comment spam more or less daily now) but I’d like to know more about the risks before I take the plunge

   It would be great if you could somehow find a way to work with the Comment Spam Clearinghouse but that would probably be impractical.

   I’d like to help test. Painless and centralized? Sign me up!

   I’ve got it running over at surfiOnline and all seems to be running well. As Mark warned me, there is a slight “lag” when posting comments because it has to connect to the central server, but its nothing major.

   The round robin DNS idea which someone came up with on IRC last night would also be pretty awesome if we could manage to get it set up. The only problem then is making sure each mirror has the latest copy of the keywords list. Possibly a cron to update across all mirrors every few hours?

   Anyway, well done Mark. Awesome idea for a plugin.

   I have it going on my site and I didn’t notice any lag at all. How do I even know its working, Mark?

    I’m getting 20+ spam comments daily, even with other plugins running, so I’d definately be interested in this.

    Send a copy my way thanks ;]

    I get 50+ spams some day. I am fighting a losing battle. I have about a 99% noise ratio, in other words, I get very few real comments, so I have very little to lose. Send me the plugin and I will be happy to test and to provide code if I can (I wrote the LivePress plugin for WordPress).

    I’m interested in testing and possibly being part of the distributed network.

    My website isn’t exactly a blog, but an article archive where people can post their articles in 20 categories. I haven’t had a lot of traffic yet, but I am sure when it takes off, I will bombarded with spam messages just as much as the everyday blogger. The help would be very much appreciated.

   lista negra
   cuando instalé una lista negra en este blog creí que por fin había concluido el expediente spam pero… hoy, como casi todos los días, borré +/- 50 comentarios spam. no quiero utilizar más una parte de mi tiempo en esa…

   Best way to block comment spam?
   I’ve been testing CSPAM for a while now and it’s been working great. Or so I thought. Ahem. Turns out sometime in the past couple of weeks I accidentally disabled comments entirely and didn’t realize it.

   Doh!
