Re: Textile formatted comment spam
How does this plugin work? I was getting hit with about 2 spams and hour on 1 article only until I installed this plugin and they’ve stopped. What does it do to stop them because I can still see them trying through my referer logs, it shows them going to url+#cpreview but no comment showing up. I’m just interested.

Looks like the SVN version works, too. I see a few attempts in my log, but nothing’s going through (this is from my Apache log):

Re: Textile formatted comment spam
The plugin works on mine. Thanks, Sencer!

Re: Textile formatted comment spam
That plugin works fine, but it is only a temporary solution. Since I’ve installed it almost every spam have been blocked. Yet this morning 6 comments surpassed the filter and entered in the moderation queue (who knows if it was automatic – there have been only 2 different IPs). That is very, very few in view of the massive attack that is still going on. But maybe there will be more.
In any case: thanks!

not a coder here, but I hates the spams.
Fine then, I’ll just make a hit counter myself.

You don’t :p
This plugin is temporary, it blocks the bot that has struck txp sites lately… it doesn’t need configuration.

Yeah I know the feeling !
By the way, the plugin seems to work :)

Re: Textile formatted comment spam
I just updated to 4.04 and got a flood of spam. I just installed the plugin to see if it helps… I’ll update y’all when I know.
