Tan Tan Noodles Simple Spam Filter for Wordpress

Posted on June 2, 2008
Filed Under weblogs |

I’m experimenting with a new feature on the site that puts in a second level of protection on comment spam. It’s this Wordpress plugin from Tan Tan Noodles (your guess is as good as mine on the name.) The thing I like best is the idea that should a legitamite comment by a real person get flagged as spam, they have a second chance to enter the captcha. Once in a very blue moon I will get a legitamite comment trapped but it is really prohibitive to go and look for comments in the Akismet trap page. Right now, I have 1600 in there from the last 14 days. Life is too short to weed through that.

If folks could do me a favor and just leave a test comment on this post, I’d appreciate it. Upgrading to Wordpress 2.5 broke comments and I’d like to not do that again. Thanks!
