Final Word on Blocking Links or a Link in Comment Spam

http://green.cx/guides/effectively-block-comment-link-spam/

This blog post was pretty awesome.  I wanted to block any comment that had a link in it.

What kind of idiot pays for massive link spamming?  I blame those guys.

Also:  You may need: http://codex.wordpress.org/Combating_Comment_Spam to know where the blacklist option is.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    That’s pretty much how I feel about comment spam, but I’ve found a better way recently, with a plugin called nucaptcha. The robots cannot send off a screenshot of the code for the foriegners to type in, so the services like death by captcha fail.
