Hi William

If I remember rightly you have to “check all” and then click remove. An earlier version of spambam does block spam directly without storing it in a folder so you might find that version more useful.

I have Firefox 3.0 and it works.
However, it just seems to put the spam in a spam folder. I want to delete it and or block it completely. My spanbam folder is getting huge fast. How can i get ride of it? The “delete” feature at the bottom of the screen does not delete the spam in the Spambam folder.

Yeah - but I have no way to contact the site administrator there and ask him to check his config. Catch 22.

I think you guys should think about some appeal process - because this way it is very frustrating.

@Zbigniew Lukasiak

Spambam is used on this blog so it may be a problem with the configuration of that particular site.

At http://goldhaber.org/blog/2008/03/28/why-just-one-top-leader-everywhere/ SpamBam blocks my comments complaining about Javascript even when I have enabled it (I’ve tried Firefox 2 and 3 and Konqueror).

I LOVE this plugin. Since my blog got popular, I was getting hundreds of SPAMbot posts a day. Even better. I actually like how it’s out of sight, out of mind.

My only complaint is that on my template, trackbacks are posted as comments and they don’t know to wait 30 seconds.

As a result, people are just leaving their links all over my comments section instead of just linking to me in their own blogs.

If you can’t fix it, no biggie - it’s not worth deactivating the plugin to give credit to other websites.

This plugin is so good, I wrote about it on my blog:

Spambam 2.1 does not work with Firefox 3.0 beta 2! Can you please check this out? You receive an message about not having javascript…

PS. I love the way spambam just blocks the spam instead of moving it to the spam box! I get thousands of spam messages and it is impossible to wade through them all!

@dave bulldog

Spambam presumes that comments will be added once per session, refreshing the page should fix it to allow more than one comment. I might change this in future if it causes problems.
