Kitten has released version 2.0 of her Spam Words Plugin: After the recent comment and pingback flood that I had overnight, I think this is going to be the solution. As usual, Kitten has done a great job with this upgrade to her original spam words plugin. Here are some of the details of the upgrade: # User approval and editing of the items being added to the spam list before they’re added. # The “Delete Comments as Spam” button is now inserted via the DOM, and no longer requires editing of core files. # Backwards compatible with version 1.1. So if you’ve already edited edit-comments.php you can install version 2.0 and it won’t break your page. # Complete documentation. # GPG signed code to ensure that it hasn’t been tampered with. This is pretty slick(pending implementation), Thanks Kitten!!
