Hello.
No, none at all. I’m puzzleda€|

Did you copy the entire contents of the spamwords box into text editor and check it ?

I didn’t uncheck the “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” boxa€|
No more comments, i’m so ashameda€|

Put something there – you have NO spam protection. This is not a good thing at all – click the link to “Common Spam Words” and fill that box. Then go here:

and grab some protection.

Satellio,
I feel your pain. If I had a nickel for everytime I missed something like that I’d be able to buy coffee for a number of people who frequent these forums. :0)

Agreed – we all make those mistakes ??

For starters, i’ve entered the following words in the list:
you
have
get
cheap

But you have to get some spam protection, it’s not just cheap, it’s free ??
