Human Ingenuity

Filed under: — site admin @ 9:49 am

We haven’t had any comment spam since I implemented my home-made CAPTCHA some time ago. But last night we got hit by TrackBack spam. 293 separate spam trackbacks. Sheesh. So I went in and deleted them by hand in MySQL:

mysql> delete from wp_comments where comment_content like ‘%poker%’;

Then I implemented the ‘moderate-trackbacks’ plugin from http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/moderate-trackbacks

If it wasn’t so annoying, it would be funny…
