 * “WordPress 1.2.1 â€�? Support Forums” is what it says at the bottom of my /wp-
   admin/xxx.php pages.
 * i installed it in Dec2004 , so…
 * either way, is it possible to use the spamwords at …/wp-admin/options-discussion.
   php without moderating?
 * adios

 * i m on WP 1.2, which is what comes with dreamhost.
 * in 1.2 it says “When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name,
   URI, email, or IP, hold it in the moderation queue” so maybe when i have time
   i ll move to 1.5 if it spamword-deletes with no moderation.

 * i added the spamwords, but it looks like you have to ALSO moderate, which i dont
   want to have to do.
 * i admit i only poked around for like 15 minutes before deciding on a brute force
   script.
 * if you add thespamword from options>discuss do you also have to tick the moderate
   box?
 * thanks
