Be ruthless about deleting it. If there's spam visible on your site, it will attract more spam. It's like graffiti. Block anything with more than a few links/URLs. It's very rare for a commenter to need to post more than (say) 3 links, but spammers all seem to try to post at least half a dozen. Have typo turn off comments after (say) 30 days. Chances are nobody's actively watching any discussion or comment older than that, but old comments are just as good for spamming. I have non-AJAX comments turned on, but I haven't had any spam in a couple of months. mathew _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
