Ban Hammer

Prevent people from registering via your comment moderation blacklist.

If I change the blacklist via Ban Hammer, will it change the Comment Blacklist?

Yes! They are the exact same list, they use the same fields and they update the same data. The only reason I put it there was I felt having an all-in-one place to get the data would be better.

Does this list the rejected registers?

No. Since WordPress doesn't list rejected comments (your blacklist goes to a blackhole), I didn't bother with trying to do that here. If enough people think it's a need, I may consider it.

It breaks when I turn on StopForumSpam checking. Why?

At a guess, you don't have cURL support. You may need to check with your webhost about that. If they do have cURL setup, share the error with me and I'll try to debug!

Will you add other spam lists?

Sure. Or at least I'll try. I'm not a genius so I may need help with APIs and the right PHP calls.

Does this work on MultiSite?

No, and it's not supported. It won't even run. No, I have no plans to MultiSite this.

Does this work on BuddyPress?

Yes, yes it does. But only single site.

Why doesn't this work AT ALL on my site!?

I'm not sure. I've gotten a handful of reports from people where it's not working, and for the life of me, I'm stumped. So far, it looks like Zend and/or eAccelerator aren't agreeing with this. If it's failing, please post on the wp.org forums with your server specs (PHP info, server type, etc) and any plugins you're running.
