Then the volume gradually increased and, by the middle of January it was a gusher. * Spam Karma and Spam Refer, in conjunction with some .htaccess scripting, have pretty much choked off the spam. * However, it always annoyed me to see these characters using my blog to increase their spam fees. * Today I am happy to report that I’ve discovered a way to strike back. At least at the guy I call the Poker Spamster, who has been responsible for 80% of my comment/referral log spam or more. * The scripts and plugins are all well and good, but this method puts us on the offense for once and hits the guy right in the wallet. * The full story [is here](http://netaloid.com/index.php/archives/2005/02/24/casino-spam-part-ii-voiding-an-agreement/). * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [Can’t turn off moderation of comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-turn-off-moderation-of-comments/) * [loid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loid/) * (@loid) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-turn-off-moderation-of-comments/#post-87707) * Yes, I’ve checked it numerous times. The first time there *was* a blank line at the end. I removed it, but comment moderation remained on. I have since removed all words but one on the list and made sure there are no blanks. Comment moderation still is stuck. I’ve seen posts from a few others in the same boat, which leads me to conclude there’s a bug at play. * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [Can’t turn off moderation of comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-turn-off-moderation-of-comments/) * [loid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loid/) * (@loid) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-turn-off-moderation-of-comments/#post-87702) * I guess I’ll have to assume this is a known WP bug. If any work-around exists that any of you know of, please post it in a reply. I’d be extremely grateful. IMO it’s a pretty serious issue because moderating comments drives away would- be participants in a blog. Thanks for any help and ideas.

However, having deleted it, I still cannot get comment moderation to turn off. I’m running WP 1.2.1. This has been going on for some time, both before and since I installed Blacklist (2.6.1). I have tried it with even the box unchecked for requiring a name and email. No joy. I’ve searched the forums and the web and seen a couple others with the same problem, but so far I haven’t found a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
