[lists] [wp-hackers] Spam results

[Elliott Bäck]

Someone already mentioned it, but I'm using my own plugin 
<http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2004/11/29/spam-stopgap-extreme/>, 
which is a modification of your plugin Matt--it just shifts the md5 to 
the client side in javascript--and it's blocked all comment spam on my 
site from day 0.  I'm not using anything else right now.

Kitten's spaminator was good, but too good.  It tended to turn up false 
positives--which it then ate.  At least, though, it emailed me about 
them....

Thanks,
Elliott C. Bäck
