CSPAM plugin
Please subscribe to our RSS feed for new articles. We report on Wordpress news, themes, plugins, ideas, hacks, quick fixes and everything about blogging, especially about Wordpress. You can also receive updates from this blog via email if you want that method of notification.
I need a lot more alpha testers. Please email me or leave a comment if interested. I do not want to release it for general download and thus the lack of a real release. Spread the word.
[EDIT] Come on, some more testers…please?
If you are one of the plugin users…any comments?

I just had to hack some code into my core wp-comments-post.php file last night to block a bunch of spams that were bypassing the usual checks. We’re probably going to add this particular hack into the core WP 1.3 code.

Dougal Campbell (27 comments.) — 11/3/2004 @ 10:11 amI’ll give it a shot, I’m curious how you went about doing this, I was thinking of the saem thing the other day myself. I just switched to WP from Drupal and only once got spammed running Drupal for almost a year, however I have received over 50 WP spams. I’d love a solution for this.

Brian Puccio (1 comments.) — 11/3/2004 @ 1:48 pmI’d also like to give it a shot. I’m just getting my WP blog off the ground (<15 entries so far) and I’ve already been comment spammed by a gambling site. This looks to be a lower maintenance & less comment-discouraging solution than another comment-authorization plugin that I’m looking at. Thanks!

Just a quick word about comments in this blog…
I currently do not have comment moderation turned on, although I do require that name & email fields be completed, as I want make it easy for y’all to make & respond to comments. That being said, in …
Territorial Bloggings — 11/4/2004 @ 11:14 amI have used this plugin for about a month. Until recently the spam I receive has been light. In the last few days it has averaged 40-50 a day and the plugin has been working fine.

Marc (3 comments.) — 11/4/2004 @ 8:47 pmI’ve been using CSPAM for about a week now. Tip to the testers: don’t try to test the plugin from your own IP address.
I think my spammer stopped coming around, but I’m not sure because it could be that CSPAM is just working that well and I don’t see the evidence.
Which makes me want to suggest to Mark that you put in some sort of stat/feedback page somewhere.

Hal (4 comments.) — 11/4/2004 @ 10:55 pmThere is one, though it is not for public distribution.
It has been emailed to you.

Mark — 11/4/2004 @ 11:57 pmAre you sure? This plugin has not been in production for that long. You might be thinking of the three strikes plugin.

Mark — 11/5/2004 @ 12:00 amI know, but it’s an overall summary. I looked at it again before posting my comment and what I’d like to see is the ability to break it down by comments filtered by *my* site’s instance of CSPAM.

Hal (4 comments.) — 11/5/2004 @ 8:56 amMark, I’m still up and running on surfionline.com. I’d be interested in seeing the spam service statistics/summary page - specifically for my site to see what’s happening there.
Regards,
Chris.

Chris Weiss (1 comments.) — 11/9/2004 @ 12:41 amHey I’d like to try out this plugin, I keep getting spam on and off.. I thought I got rid of it, but just recently it came back hard, atleast 4 different spamers hitting me at once. I’ll try anything that can possibly help.

chris (1 comments.) — 11/9/2004 @ 6:43 amMark,
You’ve no doubt seen my anti-spam plugin here, so it’s probably obvious I know a thing or two about spam. I’d be happy to alpha test yours, if you still need testers..
