Title: Block spam but allow public comments
Post by: totalcollection on October 22, 2008, 05:55:09 pm
At my site: totalcollection.inf I receive a lot of comments. At first start when I saw the numbers, I was amazed but when I checked it out, those look spams to me because they give a lot of links to other sites.

I do love to open comments for everyone, but how to prevent those spams?

Thanks in advance.

There's been several hacks and plugins developed for this reason so search the forums. Here's one (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,33827.0.html).

Searching the board for "comment spam" should give you all the information you need. Please search before posting in the future.

Sorry for trouble, I got to the page you provided, but that method has been modified many times that it comes to confusion: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,33827.msg263649.html#msg263649

If possible, I would be very happy if you can point me to one that is practical and adapted to the latest Coppermine.

Thanks and sorry for trouble.

There are in fact many methods:
All of them work as expected. Read the initial posting of the thread starter and do as suggested there. Only if you run into troubles you need to read on and check if someone had similar problems to yours. Don't be afraid that people report issues installing the mod or plugin - this is to be expected mostly because humans make mistakes. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the plugin/mod in itself.

This is surely one of the greatest comments I've seen on the web to inspire me, dude.
Thanks you.
