    Well i was satisfied with the blacklist plugin cause it took care of the gambling and other low lifes spam i got but i just found out it deletes everything !
    I posted a comment on a story and got deleted all the time…
    I had to take my ip and /or email address out of the database cause it ads me to it but time after time it trashes everything…
    So what is wrong ?

    The empty line is usually just user error. Don’t worry, it happens to us all the time.

    well il just wait and see what happens…
    thats the fun of plugins……you can turn it on and off.

    the WP1.5 builtin blacklist also wipes out every comment regardless of whether they contain relevant phrases or not. I removed everything but IP addresses from my blacklist and still my own comments didn’t make it through and when I went through the wp_comments table I found a bunch of comments by other people that got caught (most likely by the blacklist) as well. And no, there was no white-space in my blacklist

    Try removing everything from the blacklist. Do you have any other active plugins?

    I didn’t have then. Now I am using Kitten’s Spam Words, which worked well with 1.2 but now it only puts comments in moderation instead of deleting them. So I am currently at the mercy of the spammers again ??

    First, note that IP-address filters are near useless. Usually spammers are on dynamic IPs, either dialups, or proxies, or zombie machines.

    If you would like to try out my new CG-AntiSpam, it’s still in alpha form, but has done a decent job for me. I’m looking for people with active commenters AND spamming to ensure I’m not hitting false-positive cases.

    It’s packed in with all my other plugins here:

    Downloaded it. Will give it a go and let you know how it turns out ??
    Should I email you feedback or reply to a certain thread?

    email to cgcode at my site. that’s the best place to reach me for PowerPack related coding issues/ideas/help. ??

    I am currently running 1.2 WP and using WP Blacklist – it is deleting every comment that is left, it used to work and would email me when it would delete a comment. Now it just eats them. I read the comments left above and tried searching for a blank line, there are two in my database, however everytime I try to search for them or the first time I tried to delete them the browser freezez up. I think its time to move one. Unless anyone has any suggestions.
