@maxt, podz & vkaryl
There is always a price to free lunch 🙂
I think the “getting free mindset” is making us refuse to accept the real cost of free TV (you actually pay nominally for cable which doesn’t cover the cost of production) or free software (WP hidden link fiasco) or free content (blog or not).

Slowly however the trend will have to reverse back, albeit in a different incarnation. People used to buy newspapers, which paid salaries for the reporters and their investigative work.

@podz I do get carried away sometimes on SK rant because it really proves bothersome with its strange logic. I had tested it one time, seen it on other blogs. The thing is bothersome to the viewers, not to the blogger. But then everyone to his own 🙂

Normally you get only trackback spam. I have never seen any pingback spam.

You could have used phpmyadmin to turn them off.

I am using a couple of plugins and few WordPress 1.5 options and for the last three months I am without any comment, trackback, pingback or referrer spams.

I do not use nor recommend Spam Karma because it makes life harder for end-user with its frequent false positives and actually does a decent job of insulting them on the basis of its erroneous diagnostics, been on the receiving end of it twice 🙁

Neither do I rely on CAPTCHA. The goal is to make the life of my viewers as painless as possible, as far as my blog is concerned.

Let me know if you find these strategies useful for preventing your spams.

With a name like thepope, how can you expect people to respond? Aren’t you supposed to know a lot, Mr. Ratzinger 🙂

@macmanx he is looking to nofollow post entries, not comments. As he is aggregating he wants to nofollow them.

@thepope
What an interesting name; Mr. Ratzinger is it?
Anyway I don’t think there is an available plugin. However it would be trivial to develop one. Search in wordpress include directory for nofollow and you will find the code you can use (the much abused preg_replace) in your plugin.

I did take some look into the code. I don’t think WordPress is caching by default. The problem could be with your browsers setting, transperant caching as some mentioned or a remote possibility is cookies. I have seen strange things with WP & cookies. Try removing the WordPress cookies and see if that helps. Also try accessing your server through an anonymizing service (use tor if you must) and see if the problem persists. If you are connecting through a proxy then see if the proxy supports socks. If so uncheck the http proxy and use only the socks proxy.

Plugin Filters are installed within the plugin file. If you delete the plugin files, the filters will be automatically gone.

Then there are some default filters too, which are installed by WordPress. Under wp-includes look into default-filters.php

Doesn’t work for me. Gives me a blank page – http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/no-caching-for-me/
