[wp-hackers] Spaminator 1.0rc released

[Kitty]

After numerous revisions, I think The Spaminator is good enough to be a
release candidate.

http://mookitty.co.uk/devblog/category/kittens-spaminator/

As of this release, it's 99.9% on the poker/ownsthis spammer (they won't
wind up in your mod queue either). There's a couple of regexes
especially for him. I'll be posting updates to the user regexes so that
it can be fine tuned as the bot evolves.

Recap:

> It's a mashup of Tar Pit & Three Strikes, but better :)
> 
> A comment that "strikes out" isn't posted, avoiding mod queue clutter.
> After striking out, the spammer is tar pitted.
> No one is blocked from looking at your site.
> Only comes into play when a comment is posted.
> Light weight and fast, with minimal use of regular expressions.
> The code is shielded from global space, to avoid memory hogging when
> not needed.
> Some of the default weighting are different from the original 3
> Strikes, mainly lack of a proper referer is weighted heavier, to ward
> off stupid spambots.
> Returns a HTTP "OK" message to the spammer so that no flags are raised
> that your site is fighting spam. But prints a message for humans
> explaining what happened.
> 
> If you've been using my Spam Words plugin to build up your spam words
> list, then you'll be all set to take full advantage of this.
