[Plugin: Pierre’s Wordspew] Shoutbox messages going to spam

clearing the browser cache should fix that.

I’d like to see an option to disable spam filtering when the shoutbox is used in a secure, controlled environment. The message gets annoying. Any way to disable this spam checking?

Hi all,

this feature have just been added in the last release (version 5.2) ??

Amicably,

Pierre.

Wow… I just saw that, very nice!

I DON’T LIKE SPAM message is still an issue.

Upon loading Wordspew, the last message prompt says 40 years and 4 months… this is a sign that the next posting will result in the I DON’T LIKE SPAM message. If I hover over the nickname of the last post, the time is right, even though it says 40years and 4 months at the top.

Sometimes after two or three attempts, the message will go through and everything will work fine, until the browser is closed.

The issue isn’t really SPAM. Wordspew thinks it’s a bot trying to post… something to do with BADCALC variable not being set.

I’m thinking this might be related to the time of the post, and the time on the PHP server, maybe even the time of WordPress. I don’t think Wordspew uses WordPress time.

I also suspect it might have to do with a PHP Sessions setting as the issue started when I switched web hosts. The old host was using PHP 4, then new one has PHP 5.2.2.

I’d like to temporarily get rid of that BOT check so it will stop blocking messages. Wordspew is used in a controlled environment so SPAM and BOTS are not an issue. Not sure how to go about that yet. In the mean time if I ever find the problem I’ll keep you posted.’

Any insight is appreciated.

Great plug-in!

hi Pierre: will check that out thanks…

hmmm seems my problem is caused by very sctrict spamguard on hosting… now it’s working, needed to work around server settings….
