Sneaky Spammers

Posted on January 4, 2007 in Site News Spam

[[Wordpress]] users might find comments that half-sound like they are “on topic” but refer back to nonexistent blogs and email addresses. They come from no one source. I suspect that they are meant to pave the way for spam.

WordPress automatically puts comments from previously unknown ISPs into the moderation queue. Once you have approved one of these, all future comments from that source are automatically approved.

Note that it is my site policy to not approve comments with fake email or WWW addresses.
