By the way. I just realized that after upgrading previous lower-level users can edit posts and comments in cases where it was previously not possible (author was a higher-level user).

I was not happy with the old system, but unhappy with the new one too. How can I fix all this? No plugins?

You need to turn off trackbacks also, because that’s what most spam comments really are.

If you want to have these features on, however, you’ll need to install the spam plugins.

PS: I’m suffering a major spam attack (hundreds of comments every couple of hours) and it all stopped with Bad Behavior.

Some powerfull spam bot was set up a couple of days ago. Seems that I’m not the only one getting hundreds of spam comments or trackbacks every day. Wouldn’t it be fair to send the police to look for this criminal spammer/s?

Is there a way to help catch them? I’ve got plenty of logs and stored information about this spammer. It’s all the same: drugs, hotels, etc. All spam comments look the same.

Hello, I still need help.

1. Spam Karma allows comments that are not labelled as spam to be published unmoderated. This is NOT what I’m looking for. What options do I have?

2. I need a program that prevents spam from being posted, not just a filter. If not possible, I need to disable the 15-second rule. A great number of legitimate commentators are prevented from posting in my blog for this 15-second thing.

I tried SpamKarma and it works very well as I spam filter, but it turns off moderation for legitimate comments. This is NOT what I was looking for. Can I have SpamKarma work without turning off moderation??

I’m using WP 1.5.1.3. Can I install Akismet there?
Will that solve the problem or just filter the comments?

I copied search-everything.php into my plugins directory. I can see it in the plugins section and activate it. Then when going to “Options” I see this:
What’s wrong?

Warning: sev_option_page(/home//public_html/wp-content/themes/connections/searchform.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home//public_html/wp-content/plugins/search_everything2.php on line 224

Warning: sev_option_page(/home//public_html/wp-content/themes/connections/searchform.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home//public_html/wp-content/plugins/search_everything2.php on line 224

What could go wrong? I just don’t see why I should delete all the files that I’m not going to modify.

Thanks, LesBessant. I wasn’t refering to a person seeing his/her own message.

My point is precisely that your “Other visitors won’t see the comments.” is not always true. That’s the whole point!!

TechGnome, the problem is with any blog that uses the Connections theme (I’ve seen more than a dozen). Take the author’s site, for instance:

https://vanillamist.com/blog/?p=89

The screen shot shows you what the problem with some browsers will be. For obvious reasons, I cannot give you a link that will show you the problem “live” if your browser is OK.

Sorry about that, I did it with the last blog because I thought that the owner might not be happy to have a link over here (I wouldn’t want mine to show up on top of google searches, which is not that difficult due to the pagerank of this forum). The other links take you to the author of Connections website.

Hmmm, I’m not sure. I’ve never seen comments that are pending moderation.

Can you elaborate? Are they visible to administrators who are logged in? Is that what you mean? I never realized that this was the case.

podz, thanks.

I’m sorry to say that I’m using the featured host on top of the list of hosts recommended by www.remarpro.com

That is, bluehost.com

Is that one not supposed to be the best host?
