I’m using the following:

<?php// Comment loop
if ($comments):
	foreach ($comments as $comment):
	// Test if Comment Author == Post Author
		if ($comment->user_id == $post->post_author):
			$CommentAuthorIsPostAuthor = True;
		else:
			$CommentAuthorIsPostAuthor = False;
		endif;

	// NoFollow sucks, we need an "alt" tag
		$AuthorName = $comment->comment_author;
		$AuthorURL = $comment->comment_author_url;
		if ( ($AuthorURL == '') || ($AuthorURL == 'https://') ):
			$AuthorData = "Comment by $AuthorName";
		else:
			$AuthorData = "Comment by <a href='$AuthorURL' alt='URL for comment author $AuthorName'>$AuthorName</a>";
		endif;
?>

So this chunk of code does the following:

1. Identify the author based on user id. This means you will only be identified as the author if are actually logged in. (keeping email high-jackers from being identified as the author erroneously).
2. Allow for custom comment author links. In my case I’m adding an “alt” tag, and removing the “rel” tag.

Small update: The offending spam was inserted directly into my DB. So I guess I have a bigger issue I need to solve.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
