Great idea that just might work. I will try it out on my site which now gets many spam comments a day

It works on my weblog for more than two weeks now, without single spam posting.

then anonymous users must click unlock every time they post?

By: Truden

Truden — Wed, 23 May 2007 21:50:30 +0000

Yes, and this is the best protection.
If spammer personally targets you, he/she can come and take your cookies, give them to the bot and spamm you until year 2029 (cookie expiration).

You can give your anonymous visitors the right to post after the first check by not inserting

setcookie(‘TrBr’, check, time()-30000000);

in wp-comments-post.php and not using the “cleaner” check/kill with comments.php and cleaner.php (explained in the installation file)
In this case anonymous will still see the UNLOCK link.
To hide it from them we have to make another check for cookies.
I don’t like to have too many if’s in my files.

OK, here it is specially for you, Nice.

If you do not insert the above mentioned line in wp-comments-post.php

OPEN trubar3_lessen.php

FIND:

if (isset($user_ID)) {

CHANGE to:

if (isset($user_ID) || isset($_COOKIE[‘TrBr’])) {

Now your anonymous visitors will not need to click again on the link and will not see it anymore.

DO NOT DO THIS!

Why do you think so?

I love the concept behind the plugin, but wouldn’t it cause problems for people with text-only browsers, or those who have JavaScript turned off? I’m not really the biggest accesibility nerd ever, but it makes sense.

By: Truden

Truden — Fri, 25 May 2007 17:10:01 +0000

Yes, it could be problem for users with cookies disabled too.
I don’t care about users with cookies and js disabled.
They must trust me and my weblog, if they want I to trust them. So, put the browser on normal run.

We probably get one text browser on 100000 visitors and much more spam bots for the same number.
Such visitors can always contact me if they think that their comment is very important.
I’ll immediately register an account for them.
