They are still able to post. They should be getting an error and nothing should post at all. That's not what's happening. I get an email saying there's been a post, then I have to go in and delete it. This is a PITA.
Will have to find some other solution. Open to suggestion.
Also thinking about a solution for this kind of problem, because I would also like to add a commenting system to my page somedays.
I like the comments at php.net, no bling bling.
My thought is, maybe a commenting system could utilize a required-words list.
Or perhaps two lists, one with words that MUST occur in the text, and another one with words of which SOME or just ONE have to occur.
This might increase the probability that the comment really refers to the theme of the web site, or even to the page (with separate word lists per page).
A score can also be made of it, and be displayed to the moderating admin, helping him for a quick decision.
Just a thought, what do you think of it?
