Thanks to Ria I found another one of Kitten’s practical plugins – the Comment Killer. It automatically deletes all comments that land in the moderation queue, so it’s exactly what I needed.
The only thing is – if you post a genuine comment and it matches my blacklist for some reason, I have no way of stopping it from being deleted or even knowing that it was posted. So if your comment doesn’t appear on the entry, get in touch with me and let me know, okay?
It seems that everyone is suffering from this comment spam! When will this ever stop? It’s so ridiculous, really. I love this look, by the way!
It’s not comment spam I’m suffering some, it’s Guestbook spam! But that plugin you’ve got sounds good 🙂 Take care.
