 * Does anyone know the status of either Laughing Lizard or Farook’s Blacklist plugins
   with 1.5. News on their compatibility with 1.5 seems thin on the ground, and 
   before I downloaded, sucked and seed – erm, saw – I figured i’d ask here first.
 * So: do either of ’em work currently? Which is the bestest in the whole wide world?
 * Thanks.

 * FWIW, it seems as though neither of those two plugins will work with 1.5 (please
   correct me if i’m wrong).
 * Given that as of the time of writing, i’m seeing more than 1 spam comment/trackback
   every 10 seconds across the various blogthing sites, i’m getting a little frustrated.
   The vast majority are being dealt with by Spaminator, but I guess it’s got to
   the point where I should be writing some distributed blacklist plugin, or, at
   least, sharing the data around a bit.
 * Ain’t spam grand?

 * I would recommend blocking it on the server level using mod_security if you’re
   hosting a lot of blogs. Also check out WP Hashcash, OSA, and Spam Karma.

 * Have just checked [http://sm.farook.org/WPBlacklist.htm](http://sm.farook.org/WPBlacklist.htm)
   there is a download for WP1.5 there.

 * Actually this:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=24962](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=24962)
 * seems to do pretty much what I was intending to do. It includes the “magic tokens”(
   peer IDs) to grant (and revoke?) access to the lists, and allows them to be shared
   around. I’ll be off playing over there for a bit.
 * But mod_security looks quite good too. I’ll need to play with that. Thanks.

 * IanD: oh, it looks like the 1.5 version of that was released today. Neat. Thanks
   for the heads-up.
