I run a regional news site. We like to allow autopublishing of comments of unregistered users. It gives people immediate validation and encourages comments. JComments is awesome and does a great job of keeping out bot comment spam. But I get a lot of "off hours" blackhat SEO folks, who post comments and links to their knockoff product websites (Chanel, Uggboots, Burberry, etc.) Anybody have any suggestions or ideas? I'd be fine with something that auto unpublishes any comment with "www" or "http" in it. I'm trying the Blacklist tonight, but judging by the shifting IPs of these commenters, I don't think it will work. Thank you. Site is: http://www.oregonbusiness.com |

Let me ask you this:
When you look at permissions for unregistered users and you see
Display
URL recognition
and if you mouse over it says
"Enabling this option will show URL as clickable URL-link",
so what do you understand out of all of this?
What does URL recognition do?

Thanks for your reply. On my site, "URL recognition" is unchecked. From my understanding, enabling this option makes any URLs turn into clickable links.
Unfortunately this won't help me. My dilemma is I would like any comment with any sort of weblink mention in it ("www" or "http") to auto unpublish, since almost 100% of the blackhat SEO includes weblinks, and almost none of my real comments have weblinks.

OK, so you do understand this description correctly. I only ask because I do the English translation and some concepts are hard to fit into a couple of sentences. In this particular case, I don't think the "URL recognition" is the clearest descriptor..
Alright, if URLs are not be clickable, leaving comments containing such URLs will do nothing for SEO.
Of course the spammers don't know that and they'll keep on sending those comments.
The feature you are asking for doesn't exist. But you can monitor commenting with e-mail notifications and, if you turn on the quick moderation, you'll be able to unpublish the offenders right out of the e-mail IN box. This is the best workaround I can think of.

If anybody has ideas, I'd appreciate it. @ABTOP, I'd suggest instead the term: "Clickable weblinks" or "Clickable URLs." Yes, we moderate via email but aren't staffed 24/7. We have a "latest comments" module that appears on every page, that's what makes the spammers so interested.

There is the Akismet plugin for JComments. You might want to give it a shot. |

@smart: Yes, that's correct. I would be happy with a solution that auto unpublishes if a comment contains "www" or "http". Any ideas? Unfortunately creating the PHP is a little beyond me at this point.

It would be of great help if we can automatically unpublish spammy comments with more than one URL...Waiting for the miracle!!
Thanks in advance.

A few days ago I got an email from Google that some websites are backlinking me with urls containing spam queries. How can I solve this problem. Can I do it with .htaccess? I don't have a slightest idea what to do. Thanks.

Indeed, WHAT can you do about other people's Web sites? If I backlink Google "with urls containing spam queries", will Google send such an e-mail to itself? |

If anyone has ideas, I'd appreciate it. @ABTOP, I'd advise very the term: "Clickable weblinks" or "Clickable URLs." Yes, you moderate through email however aren't staffed 24/7. You have got a "most recent comments" module which appears in each and every webpage, that's what may appear to result in the spammers so interested.
