Not just with plugins… by Arnan http://meandmymac.net/1406/combat-spam-not-just-with-plugins/#comment-6817 Arnan Thu, 17 May 2012 02:13:32 +0000 http://meandmymac.net/?p=1406#comment-6817 Either run the query in PHPMyAdmin, if you have that or know what that is. Or install my CustomQuery plugin and do it from there. In either case make sure you run the query exactly as shown or it will fail. Also, this query does not apply to future images ofcourse, it only changes existing items. Either run the query in PHPMyAdmin, if you have that or know what that is.

I have over 69K comments all on my photos -- 49K of them somehow got approved. How would one go about this is they are a little "less" coding savvy. Basically, how do I run this query??

Anyway, as for Bryans post; having such a long list of user agents to check takes time, too. Which decreases the overall site performance. Since every request goes through htaccess every visitor is checked. So all your 100s or even 1000s of visitors are checked with every page and link they click on your site. Not a good idea. Also, user agents are so easily faked and spoofed it kinda defeats the point. If at all effective. Well you can’t comment on anything but the original image…
