Spam, you suck. Uncle, you rock!
I just spent the last 2 hours deleting over 700 spam comments I have in my gallery of my AJ fansite, as well as browsing through the Coppermine Support Forum to try and find the solution to stop those stupid comments. Good news: I found the solution! Bad news: I am exhausted.
What a great way to start my 2-month semester holiday after a 3-week long exam period. Boo.
In lighter news, though, my friends and I are heading out on a road trip to KL this Monday. Everything is looking good, especially since we don’t have to pay for the hotel we’re staying at for 4 days! You see, my (incredibly rich) uncle owns the four-star hotel in KL - Royale Bintang Damansara - and so, I quote, in account of me, we wouldn’t have to pay a single cent for our stay!
I’m incredibly excited. We might also get a free Limo ride from the hotel to Sunway Lagoon. It’s been ages since I last went to such an awesome theme park. I’ll be sure to do a complete pic spam and post pictures here when I get back. Ah, I can’t wait to get into the jacuzzi free-of-charge.
Well, I’d better get back to uploading the many, many files I have for the gallery; AMF.net has not been updated in 2 months. Eek!

Holy crap.. that’s a lot of comments. That’s why I disabled comments on my install when I had it! This road trip sounds amazing - it’s great to know people in high places, isn’t it?

I hear ya about the spam… you might be interested in the plugin wp-spamfree. It actually works better then akimset, I think so anyways.
Pat said,
I use to have thousands of spams on my blog that is being handled by akismet. Spams are irritating, lol. It’s a good thing you found a solution for it.
Heather said,
Wow, that’s a lot of spam. I usually only get 15-25 spam comments a week. Yay for finding a solution. :D
Wrhona said,
Amazing how having connections to rich people can do. hehehe! I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
When I had coppermine, that was my problem too. Good thing you found out the solution because it’s really tiring. You are patient!
Free spam coppermine!

Oh, man! Spam sucks. I always try to use filters/plugins to get rid of it, but I haven’t used Coppermine gallery so I couldn’t tell you what works or not. Good luck.

Becky said,
I think my site has only had 3 or 4 spam comments, ever… 700… that’s impressive!
Holly said,
I had the same problem when something happened with my Defensio spam comment plugin and I suddenly had 25+ pages of spam comments and once I got all of them deleted I would go back to the comment panel and there would be several new pages. Glad you got everything worked out so you don’t have to spend so much time going through spam comments like that again.
