So, you did well.</p> <p>Other tip: make sure you have a valid HTTP:BL key to enter in BB (get one over at <a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org?rf=21391">Project Honeypot</a>) and return the love a bit to the community by using the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-honeypot/">WP HoneyPot plugin</a> which helps tracking and flagging bad bots also for other users. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301504#post-1179665 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:15:11 +0000 shiola 1179665@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've just activated Akismet and the last 10 hours have resulted in no spam, so I may have sorted it. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301504#post-1177618 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:57:13 +0000 shiola 1177618@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I've been using the Wordspew plugin 1.16 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordspew/) for over a year now with no spam worries as I also used Bad Behaviour.</p> <p>The past 2 weeks though my wordspew shoutbox has been spammed to oblivion.

It worked for me. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/160193#post-704056 Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:19:21 +0000 treebeats 704056@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi all,<br /> I'm a noob and pretty ignorant. I just wanted to get that out of the way. My problem however, is this, I have installed <a href="http://pierre.sudarovich.free.fr/index.php/2006/02/28/ajax-shoutbox/">Pierre's wordspew plugin (3.72)</a> on my <a href="http://www.theme-time.com/19/">enchant v3 </a>theme and it will not show up in firefox. It shows in IE and Opera and I'm not sure about Safari but all that I see in Firefox is the text input box and the name input box. If I type a message in firefox it will show up in IE but nothing in firefox. This makes me think it's more of a theme issue than a plugin issue, but like I said I hjave no idea.<br /> I don't have the stats plugin installed that was apparently an issue in my research. Other plugins I have installed are:<br /> Akismet<br /> 1pixelout audio player<br /> cforms II<br /> flicker Rss<br /> redirectify<br /> none of these are giving me any issues.<br /> My site is <a href="http://www.ihabu.com" rel="nofollow">www.ihabu.com</a> and if someone can help me with this that would be swell </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/155008#post-686952 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 11:09:15 +0000 kardave 686952@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I added the following line before all mysql_query() in wordspew.php, and it <strong>solved </strong>my charset problems!</p> <p><code>mysql_query(&quot;SET NAMES &#39;utf8&#39;;&quot;, $conn);</code></p> <p>I use UTF8 in WordPress, and in DataBase too.<br /> Now I fully can use this shoutbox for collaborate, showing it only at admin/dashboard.

I have a problem. This plugin works fine when I leave a message in english, but my site has cp1251 encoding, so when I use cyrillic characters, they are written in mysql db in a wrong way (other wp data is written correctly). I tried to change UTF-8 to windows-1251 (or cp1251) in wordspew.php but it didn’t change anything. And I didn't find any other encoding tags in code. Is it possible to force this script to write data in cp1251 encoding? And how I can do it?</p> <p>Thanks a lot!</p> <p>Vladimir. </p> <p>p.s. I left the same message in author's blog, but there are no replies for the moment so I'm asking you for help. :) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/87103#post-461818 Sat, 21 Oct 2006 04:05:40 +0000 spencerp 461818@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm not familiar with that plugin, but, have you tried contacting the author of the plugin?

I don't understand because I'm currently the blog's admin.</p> <p>I tried contacting the developer and looked at his site but it's in Dutch or German and i cannot find his email address. Also, I found something there that made me wonder... in his updates he said: "5. Installation and Admin Options Page now only visible to Super Admin (Level 10)"</p> <p>How does one get to be Super Admin?

So I deactivated the plugin and deleted the call from the page. I later came back just to see if he was still sending spam to the system so I reactivated the plugin and low and behold the plugin was still being loaded with spam.</p> <p>Now I have a couple of questions, which file is it in wordspew that he is able to write too? And can I use the free traffic hits to drive my rankings up by allowing the spam bot to still access the file? since it's not being displayed anywhere on the site it's only loading up the DB with bogus spam post. Now here is where the light bulb came on today, Is there a way I could create a cron job to empty that file every night say at midnight and turn the spammers bandwidth usage to my advantage?<br /> Regards<br /> Mark </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32609/page/2#post-366105 Thu, 20 Apr 2006 02:17:57 +0000 flush 366105@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>is it possible to configure all the info (exact time, IP, etc) off shoutmix?
