Comments on: Three Strikes Spam Plugin Updated

Have installed this on my 1.5 blog that I converted from 1.2.1 and it works well via FireFox, but users of IE6 get sent automatically to the fbi.gov page. I’ve checked the list and there are no blank lines. If I turn off 3-strikes, the IE leaves comments OK.

I had previously been using 3-strikes alpha on the 1.2.1 ver. and noticed a lot of error messages when trying to initialize the plugin as per the install instructions. If this is a corrupt database issue, which tables need to be deleted in MySQL and what would be the best way to reinstall?

Thanks.

I think I know where I am screwing up. In every test that I have performed, I have removed the three tables created by this plugin and then installed again. Can you do the same?
They should be nb_categories, nb_references and nb_wordfreqs

I am on the IRC channel #wordpress on irc.freenode.net if you want live help

I am currently having this problem also.
I removed the tables then installed again.
But still the same thing happens.

Is it a problem with the prefix nb_?

Please make sure that there are a few comments that are good and a few comments in your blog that you have moderated as spam. This has to have been done in Wordpress 1.5 This plugin learns from those comments and will not function without them.

I think I’m missing a few things here. I have a fresh update of 1.5, a handful of things classified a priori as spam (a small percentage of my overall comments mind you), built the bayes databases.

almost any comment i manually add i receive ‘this is spam’.

trying to ‘train’ it as per the instructions (dont use the moderation system, use mass edit/delete as spam instead) doesn’t work - there is no ‘delete as spam’ button in 1.5 any more for me…

the only other plugin i have running is markdown.
any thoughts?

Looking into the bugs

Have you activated the plugin through your admin?

There was a bug with the “this is spam” message and that is fixed in the download.

Make sure the plugin is activated and you SHOULD see the delete as spam button when you are in mass edit mode for comments.

Can I run this in tandem with Spaminator ?

By: Mark

Mark — Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000

You should be able to. This should pick up before the spaminator, but I might be wrong about that. If something clashes (such as redefinition of a function) please let me know.

did a fresh install a few minutes ago, administrator activated it. still don’t see the delete as spam button for some reason. tweaked the settings a little and i don’t get the ‘this is spam’ but still did with the ‘default’ settings.

Did you do the fresh install with a FRESH download? I have fixed those bugs in the download.

Fresh update (like 1 second ago as I was told to get a new update due to fix in debug statement).

I am still getting this error whenever posting a comment.

I can’t seem to find any “common spam words” area in my admin.

You’ve wrote in the instrudtions.txt:
“…paste them into the “Common Spam Words” form in the admin of your blog”

Where is the “Common Spam Words” form? I cannot find it
