@StevenCee

This site uses spambam. I can’t be responsible for every configuration issue on any server without any information about the issues.

Interesting, I can post comments here, but not on a site protected by your own program?

I think this program is flawed… I attempted, twice, to submit a comment on a site “protected by SpamBam”, and it would not post it to the page! Here’s the message I got instead:
“We don’t allow comment spam here. Javascript is required to submit a comment.”

What the? What is someone supposed to do?
I don’t get blocked from the dozens of other sites I post comments on, why is it not detecting Javascript???

Hey Jason yeah you’re right it’s been a while since the last release I’m sorry I’ve been busy with other stuff. I plan to release a new version of Spambam which will include some security features as well as fix some bugs soon.

Hey, just wondering if the delete functionality in the beta is going to be fixed? I realise there hasn’t been a release in over a year, what is the plan for this plugin (which actually does it’s job very well)?

@Amanda

The comment spam protection uses javascript to see if a browser is being used. If you had javascript enabled then it could be a bug in spambam I’d apprehiate if you could tell me details about your configuration then I can fix the problem thanks.

I’d like to know how SpamBan determines what is spam and what’s not. I typed out a nice thoughtfilled response to a person’s post, clicked sumbit, and something came up saying the blog does not accept spam and I lost everything I had typed up.

Why?

Hi John

Please try the older release:-
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spambam/

It doesn’t require you to remove spam and filters automatically.

Running Spambam 2.2.2 under Wordpress 2.6.1.

I see “Spambam (x)” under the Comments tab in Admin. However, when I click on the link and see the list of trapped spam, I am unable to delete any of them. I have tried checking the checkboxes one by one as well as selecting them all at one go using the topmost checkbox and then clicking on “Delete”. However, I’m always returned to the Comments page and none of the spam comments are deleted.

Please help.
