It worked just perfect – but now it just blocks every comment from an unregistered user with [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ‘0 which is not a hashcash value.

Would greatly appreciate any help!

(running on WPMU 2.9.1.1 and Buddypress 1.2.1)

This is inherently broken if a person has NoScript extension in Firefox. I just had a pretty big comment eaten by your WP Plugin because I had no warning about this. If you would be so kind, please people to make sure javascript is enabled so that our posts don’t get eaten up by your plugin. Thanks!

This is brilliant, using javascript to check for an auto-submit was very clever, and the fact that it can then put comments from suspected robots into the moderation queue is exactly what i’ve been looking for!

How about making a contact form plugin with Hash-Cash? I want a contact form plugin, but I don’t want spam or captchas

Er, actually the conditional should be inside the function or it fails on some themes.

Minor issue, when a page is displayed (rather than a post) and comments on pages are turned off, wp-hashcash throws a JavaScript error on the addLoadEvent().

The simple fix is to insert a line at line 640 of the php source that reads:

echo “if (document.getElementById(‘wphc_value’)) “;

Excelent plugin!

I’d love a way to be able to completely turn off comments protection, as I only need this plugin for the signup protection to prevent spammers from registering.

Unfortunately, authors comments are also blocked in my case. Even my own comments are blocked. Could have been a great plugin but I couldnt find any solution to stop me from checking my moderation queue and approve all valid comments. No choice but have to deactivate this. SIgh.
