So the last four comments that attempted to get through got “Spaminated” by my “Spaminator” plugin, and sadly all four were for real. In fact, one was from Ender, and one was from me T_T. So I think this plugin will be deactivated and left that way until a new spam wave menace comes back, or a better plugin comes out. This is like weapons grade plutonium!!!
– Edit: Kitten has released an update, so maybe this will help?
Update 1/11/2004: I’ve cleaned up the code, and added a “whitelisting” check. If an email address is found to have previously approved comment, they get 5 “bonus” points to offset things like being from the same IP subnet as a spammer.
Of course, that means you have to leave an email to get the whitelisting check. The reason some people are getting IP banned is because those dastardly spammers use/spoof so many IP addresses!
