Hi,
I’m using Spamblock (great work! :-)) a lot of weeks and have no Spam, this is good. But now I become Mails from real users and they grumble, because their comment is not online. But I do not have anything received… It be can that? Do other users have perhaps the same problem? I’m testing the Plugin under Windows and Linux with Firefox, Opera and IE (only Win) and it works fine. I am helpless…

This update fixed the database problem I’d stumbled into and not gotten around to fix. Many thanks for your plugin!

Kevin, I don’t mind at all. I actually came across your site through referrer logs, and was about to do a post on your (and other) modifications of JSSpamBlock and the future of the plugin.

Paul,

I hope you don’t mind, I stripped out the important parts of your script into a couple pieces for use in non WordPress installations. They should be implemented easily enough into any guestbook script, etc.

Thanks for the comments Brandon – I noticed the post on your blog about JSSpamBlock. I like the input name change idea, I might consider incorporating it in the future.

I installed this plugin a couple weeks ago and have had zero spam posts since I implemented it. I manually changed the input input field from ‘jsspamblock_input’ to something custom to make sure that spam bots have an even more difficult time trying to get around it. Works great though and I’m very happy with it.

I have been using version 1.4 since it came out, and in general it works quite well – thanks!

I have noticed however, that a few “bot” type posts still get through. Some of them are trapped out by other word-based filters I have and others make it into the moderation queue.

Obviously, a few bots are able to figure out what your plugin is doing and get around it, but the volume of garbage spam has gone down a lot.

Actually – nevermind my question… I should learn to properly read the ReadMe.txt file before I start asking silly questions!

Awesome plugin – works like a charm.

Just a little n00b question… How can I move the position of the additional field in my comment field – right now it appears after the submit button, not before it…
