2007/11/15 version 2.06
- optimized, optimized, optimized
- only displays 5000 comments per page to avoid stressing slower computers
- will work for any language (not just english anymore)
- any additional slowness is because of a bug on the WordPress end that makes
you download the same spam over and over again: http://dev.wp-plugins.org/ticket/722
- my home PC can download and display 5000 spam in 30 seconds

The problem is line 220

if (allh2s[i].innerHTML == "Caught Spam") {

If I change this to

if (allh2s[i].innerHTML == "Spam tegen gehouden" || allh2s[i].innerHTML == "Caught Spam" ) { // modif pvh added Dutch translation

then all works fine again...
I'm not sure how it can be made more generic.

I assume the number of H2 tags in the source code varies and therefore you have to rely on the "equals Caught Spam" test?

But maybe you could search for the first H2 that is in the div class = "wrap"?

Hi,

I have found the reason why it doesn't work - the script is language-dependent...

So wordpress.com the problem is not specific for wordpress.com, it's for all non-English Wordpress interfaces...

Hi,

at this moment, the script doesn't seem to work at wordpress.com (anymore).

I have excluded wordpress .com for the script by adding
http://*.wordpress.com/*
to the excluded pages (for the time being)

- Rewrote from scratch using IP filtering idea from Donncha.
- Will now fetch all of your spam comments and display them on one page.
- Groups by the originating IP address.
- Because it groups by IP address, the more spam you have, the more likely it is to
correctly identify spam!
- Sorted by the least number of spam comments to the most number of spam comments.
- IP addresses with more than 5 comments are hidden (as the are likely spammers).
- Can easily check the hidden text by moving your mouse over the parts that say [hidden]
- Surprisingly much faster than the old version! (less code, too)
- No longer has any confusing configuration options -- does the right thing all the time.
- Automatically checks for script updates every two weeks.

- Added not_spam_author_only regexp to make it easier to find stuff that is often incorrectly marked as spam. Edit the script to add your blog name.
- Hovering over the "red" compressed text will show the full text and let you mark it as not-spam.
