 * There is a fantastic modification of the Wordspew Shoutbox done by Pierre [http://pierre.sudarovich.free.fr/](http://pierre.sudarovich.free.fr/)
   
   The best thing is, it blocks bots!
 * I don’t know how it will work if you have the Rudd-O version, but it works on
   the original Jalenack’s.
 * I have just installed it now at [http://www.biggybank.com](http://www.biggybank.com),
   as I was getting bot spam every day.
 * Pierre has done the following alterations (copied and pasted from his website
   with some slight language adjustments):
    * it scans the three fields (message,
   user url, and name) for spam and doesn’t permit posting if there are some banned
   words * the list of banned words works with Options –> Discussion –> Comments
   moderation list. It works with/without Javascript enabled. All you have to do
   is to add new banned words as soon as a spammer finds a way to bypass your list.*
   number of spams blocked appears in the plugin configuration title * automatic
   transformation of email address in clickable link * automatic transformation 
   of links: if links go outside of your blog then they will open in a new window,
   otherwise they will open in same window * show the banned word in the alert box
   to the user, so regular users can adapt their language to the filter rules. *
   for those who use WordPress 2.x, it correctly defines user name and path to smileys*
   as the function CheckSpam is in the header, it immediatly reflects words added
   in the moderation list * 05-10-2006 : added a new constraint to block bots: Users(
   who are not registered) have to enter a random string (all the 30 days) to “identify”
   themselves as “human” . After what they can play with the shoutbox. Pierre hopes
   it will be a good protection (one more ) against the spammers. * 05-14-2006 :
   it will be hardier for spammers to bypass filters now, because it permits only
   one url per message (with/without javascript)
 * In addition, he has added sound functionality, so that a user can choose to have
   a sound played when someone leaves a message.
 * Anyhow, it took me seconds to install – all I did was replace the plugin files.
   I didn’t have to change any of the code that was already in my sidebar – it picked
   everything right up again. All I did was a small alteration in the css file to
   resize the box.
