How to kill blog/comment spam

May 2nd, 2007

The simplest way to kill comment spam on your blog is to add http:// to the list of blacklisted words (99% of spam includes links - which start with http:// obviously). You can leave a text note warning legitimate users to modify the links.

In wordpress, go to the dashboard/admin panel and click
Options-> Discussion
and enter http:// under comment blacklist

PS: you should add a note to your comment form warning visitors not to leave links or the comments will automatically be deleted.
