Comment Spam
December 7th, 2004
Not that I’ve been posting so much that comments have any importance, I need to turn comments off due to the huge quantity of comment spam that this blog has been getting. While WordPress lets me moderate comments, as far as I can tell it there is no way I can tell it to disallow comments on entries that are more than n days old, which is what I would really like to see.
I’ll leave comments on for a few more days and then turn them off.

Thanks! Through your link I found a fairly comprehensive list of WordPress Comment Spam killers at http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/spam/

There’s a way to do it. Now if only I can remember how I found it….
There’s that gives some links. I’m using Scott’s Autoclose comments. Getting the file off the web is a pain - if you need a copy, please e-mail me and I’ll send you one.
I’ve also used the trick of renaming one of the main files - you can find out how to do it here.
There’s other tricks out there. I hope this helps.
Between the two, I’m spam-free!
