I’ve been hit again in another round of comment-spam, apparently. So, I’ve activated the auto-close-comments plugin that I found the other day. That and I turned off “e-mail me whenever anyone posts a comment” and only left “e-mail me whenever A comment is approved or declined” on. That combined with the Comment Authorization plugin, and I think I just might have this crap beat.

Oooh–also, WordPress’s comment moderation absolutely ROCKS!! This is a VERY well-thought-out interface and program!! =:) Awesome job, WordPress guys!! =:)

I read somewhere that one option people have chosen is to rename some WordPress files so that the comment-spammers can’t script their ilk, but I’ve decided that it’s not worth it to me to do this. I want WordPress upgrades to be as painless as possible, meaning that I don’t want to have to remember to rename the files again every time I upgrade. So I’ll not go this far, methinks….

W()()t!! This is progress, baybee!! =:)
