Stopping wordpress spam bots

Posted by on January 14, 2009 at 11:54 pm in Cool.

I was having a big problem for a few months with spam bots registering user accounts on my blog. Generally, the bots would register accounts assuming (incorrectly) my anti-spam software was more likely to let their comments if they came from a registered account. As you might imagine, this gets pretty annoying pretty quickly.

Another day, another Wordpress upgrade. Once again, for the most part pretty painless. The database schema change broke some custom code I wrote in my template, but turns out here’s a nice API call which does exactly the same thing.
