I’ve been tinkering with my WordPress installation every now and then, mainly with minimizing spam comments. Several are difficult to figure as spam, while most others were downright obvious. I hate moderating them, but I also hate known spam bots “commenting” with huge amounts of text in the comment field. So, until I look at an comments in the spam queue in order to delete it, at least now, there won’t be any comments for 200 characters. Thanks to Greg’s Comment Length Limiter Plugin for WordPress. I’m gonna try it out for a while, but still looking to edit the comment form itself, maybe removing the URL field if I see it as too much of a problem. (Most comments seem to be made to just promote their own site, even if there is a legitimate comment that actually relates to the post, if that makes any sense). I really don’t want to enable an Captcha plugins, that will be a last resort.
