The feed for this was scraped and I reported it to Google.
That’s fantastic, thanks alot. It’s good of you to make clear that it is based off of somebody elses work to start with.

Myspace, thanks. 99% of it is Joe Tan’s work, I added 1% to tweak it slightly. I’m not someone who’ll take credit for someone else’s work… If people did, the whole open source thing wouldn’t work…
Scarped but good information anyways.
Buy beats,
Do you mean scraped? If so, I can assure you that I wrote the post above (and I made the hack to the Simple Spam Filter). If you’ve seen this somewhere else, then that was the scraped version, not this.
By the way, I’ve removed the URL from your comment – I don’t mind commercial sites and keywords instead of names, but your comment needs to be a bit more substantial… Sorry – but many would have marked you as spam…
At the moment this plugin doesn’t work :s? I can’t access the download page, maybe it is my provider which is deny me acces, but maybe the server is down. I will try another time, i hope then it will work, because I need this plugin, because Akismet doesn’t work for me because I don’t have an API and i don’t know how to get one.
@MSN hacken, the download works OK for me.
@Stephen: Great plugin! Probably I’ll use it in my blog in the future, but for now Akismet has been working OK. I don’t want to overload my account at my super-overselled hosting provider :p
Greets!
This is a pretty nice plugin, will use.

Thanks for putting that together. Right now, the simple addition plugin seems be be holding the wolves at bay, but it won’t forever. Do you have any thoughts on when “too many” ant-spam plugins become “too many”?
RT and you both working on a plugin…its gotta be good!
I own a company called Green Image Solutions. Please be careful of buying ink and toner from just any website. I am in the business of selling quality ink and toner products specializing in compatible ink and toner. Yes we can offer you inexpensive products but they are quality. most web only based sites sell cheaper ink and toner because it is cheap quality. make sure who ever you buy from they offer other services and have a staff you can call, customer service is key. you can go to http://www.thinkofgreen.com we sell quality products and have high customer service. We also are a “Green” Company so while your saving money with us you can help save the planet.
hope this helps…
A good addition with “-.*%_&$” symbols. The anti-spam plugin on my WordPress blog misses them, and I have to suspend the spam comments manually. And it’s the task of Sisyphus with tons of spam coming every day.
As much as I understand that the proposed in the plugin spam filter would work and would work successfully, I still think that “the question and answer” type of protection against the spam is more effective than simply character filtering. Spammers every day invent the new spam messages and texts and it’s virtually impossible to keep track of all character combinations.

Some spam comments are really funny. I smile as I delete them.
Is it me or did Jim just spam the anti-Spam thread…
At first you can have a good laugh reading spam comments but when it continues everyday it starts irritating and spoils the day’s work! – Mike
Excatly Mike,
