[wp-hackers] GWAVA Spam Nonsense

[Robert Deaton]

I just checked, nothing special about my IP address. I'm on cable and I've 
had the same IP for 6 months, so I doubt that it is the problem. I didn't 
get one from this thread, so maybe it had something to do with the "exploit" 
thread. At any rate, its terribly annoying to get my posts flagged as spam.
