WordPress Comment SPAM Plugins

Nick Momrik3 Comments

I’m now using two plugins to help me combat comment SPAM. The first is Kitten’s Spam Words, which gives you an easy way to delete comments and mark them as spam at the same time. This helps to create a list of comment spam words in WordPress so that further comments will automatically be held for moderation. The second plugin is Mark Ghosh‘s Three Strikes Spam Protection. This plugin will automatically delete a comment if it matches a certain number of criteria (default is 3 strikes) so that I don’t even have to moderate them. It’s configurable so that you can set the number of “strikes” to delete a comment with.

SPAM Comments

After some recent flooding of SPAM comments on all of my blogs I’ve started to take some preventive measures. I have much mor work to do, I’ve started flagging a few things. In the future, if you notice that when you comment it doesn’t show up right away, you’ve probably used a word or something I have flagged and I’ll approve your comment as soon as I can. I’m actually suprised I went almost an entire year without running into a problem, besides one or two a month. Let’s all wish a slow and painful death to all spammers, but a quick one to their SPAM!

For the month of October Party Poker is running a special promotion for all affiliates. If I get at least one more person to sign up and deposit money before the end of the month, I’ll get a nice bonus. In addition to the $25 bonus you get when signing up for Party Poker with one of my links, I’ll give you a percentage of the bonus as an incentive to join. I’m not sure how much because I don’t know how much I’ll receive yet. So what are you waiting for? Click one of the links you see here, create an account, and deposit $50. You’ll get a nice $25 bonus and I’ll give you some more on top of that. What have you got to lose? You can play the required number of raked hands (somewhere around 100), get the $25 and cash out if you want. Easy money!

Sign up for Party Poker now!!

Or…those of you that have signed up through my links…deposit money for later.

Tim McCarver vs. John Madden

Nick Momrik2 Comments

I’m having a hard time deciding which announcer gets on my nerves more.

Tim McCarver

  • “I got my ‘splitter’ and my ‘plate’ mixed up and kind of called it a ‘splate.’ It’s a new word I made up.”
  • “A walk is as good as a home run.”
  • “If the double play is a pitcher’s best friend, what is a fielder’s choice? An acquaintance?”
  • “National league pitchers pitch Edmonds up and in. That is his strength and his weakness.”
  • “If football is a game of inches then baseball is a game of inch.”
  • “Yankee pitchers have had great success this year against Cabrera when they get him out.”

John Madden

  • “The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.”
  • “It’s kind of hard to keep your head from being lopsided if you have half of the field in your helmet.”
  • “You can only make one play at a time.”
  • “Winning is a great deoderant.”
  • “First down is a good down.”
  • “Of course, if he had had control of the ball when he hit the ground, then it would have been a complete pass.”

John Madden wins in a Googlefight between the two.

Star Wars Battlefront

Star Wars BattlefrontAfter all of the hype I had heard/read about Star Wars Battlefront, I’m very disappointed. The game is pretty weak IMHO. All you do is run around shooting the enemy and try not to shoot the dumbasses on your team who keep running in your line of fire. And then you do it again. And again. What kind of a Star Wars game doesn’t let you use THE FORCE or a lightsaber?

During each battle you have the choice of 4 or 5 different characters to fight with. This may be the coolest part of the game because each character has their own weapons. One other cool part is the ability to jump in any vehicle. Other than that, the game is pretty boring! Save your money for Halo 2, which comes out 2 weeks from today.
