In Asides, Comment Spam, WordPress on 21 March 2005 2:50 pm with 3 comments
(ID: #379) 
With Referrer Karma and MacManX’s nice word moderation list, I haven’t been getting spam. Should I disable Auto Shutoff Comments and edit the comment status for all posts to “Open” thru phpMyAdmin? Why am I writing this? I just made a comment in a post that was made in the beginning of February about Skype. Who knows if someone else wants to do the same here?
No harm in trying…
If worst comes to worse (is that the right wording?) all you will have to do is mass delete some comments.

Yeah, I’ll give it a shot.

If spam is no longer a problem, you should.
I never turned on Auto shutoff so it hasn’t been an issue for me.
I find that a combination of Referrer Karma, my .htaccess file and the Blacklist have allowed me to turn off comment moderation, and I haven’t had a spam on the site in over 3 weeks now.
I wrote it up and put links to my blacklist and .htaccess file here
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tom
