]]> Second step - it’s use of Simple Trackback Validation plugin by Michael Woehrer.

Many spam messages is come through trackbacks.

This plugin eliminates spam trackbacks by:

  1. checking if the IP address of the trackback sender is equal to the IP address of the webserver the trackback URL is referring to and
  2. by retrieving the web page located at the URL used in the trackback and checking if the page contains a link to your blog.

Plug has options page. Everything seems pretty good - and again - wait for more info.

]]> Hi there!

I’ve been thinking of getting post done (about smart MySQL sorting techniques), but when I logged on….

A bunch of spam comments - about meds, about autos, about porn (of course) and all the bloody stuff around this bloody world…

So - I proclaim the War Against SPam (WASP).

The first step in WASP strategy - it’s a set of plugins. I’ll try some, and you’ll be informed about the hostilities.

First in the line will be Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin by Michael Woehrer. You can see its output under the comment form. Also I use the aggressive digits naming - like thr33 or f1ve
