WordPress has an annoying feature of its spam handling, namely that it shows you the entire spam content in the spam comment interface (where one must venture in order to rescue legitimate comments). This is how it works:
- look at first line of spam, agree that it is for sure spam
- scroll down
- scroll down
- … scroll down
- oh good, here’s definitely-spam message #2
- scroll down…
Two things that would help:
- a WordPress plugin that reduced spam to short expandable excerpts
- an update to the Akismet Auntie Spam Greasemonkey script to make it work with current versions of WordPress
Consider your path to world-wide fame and adoration laid out before you. (I am technically capable of doing both those options, but I don’t have time for a new path to glory right now.)
