What I’m doing as a kind of workaround is deleting all the splogs, then bulk reporting any user in the database who hasn’t had anything approved (i.e. has a postcount of 0). Should work this way.

Will let you know how I get on in terms of splogs submitted/blocked. If it works well I’d be happy to give you a testimonial on your website. As far as I can see, this is the only splog plugin built for standard WordPress, so your work is to be applauded IMHO.

Thanks for listening José! ??

Thansk for the reply José.
I just use a standard WordPress installation.

Got back to the site after the weekend and I have almost 900 spam submissions. Ouch.

If a genuine user submits a post that just needs some revisions before it can be published, I don’t delete their post, I just change its status from “pending” to “draft” and inform them changes need to be made (I have a plugin that does this automatically).

I only delete posts if they have been submitted by a spammer. As it stands this still seems the best way to report them, as their posts are deleted. Just doesn’t seem any quick way of me deleting/reporting these people.

It would be good to have a feature which automatically deletes users and reports them as a splogger when you delete one of their posts. I get hundreds of spog submissions a day to my website and it takes forever to look up the users and report them in Wangguard.

@ quicoto, I didn’t want to remove the box for my own benefit. I want to force my users not to be able to use it.

In the end I went with FV All in One SEO Pack. It had an an annoying box too, so I slipped a display: none into the CSS:

#fvsimplerseopack { display: none; }

Just do a ctrl+F for “fvsimplerseopack” in the plugin code and slip that bad boy in, bingo, no annoying input field.

Commenting out the code doesn’t work for me.

techgodown, I think you might be missing the point for many users. For use as a CMS, it’s often inappropriate to have those options for the average Joe – it’s just confusing. It seems almost every plugin you add in wants to force a bunch of rubbish onto the posts panel… it just makes it difficult for people to use. And creating a tutorial telling them to uncheck the display options is not the ideal solution!! You should be able to disable it for all users out of the box.

I just want something that will auto-generate the meta-info and not be in users’ faces all the time.
