You’re not required to. That’s a default setting in WordPress but you can post without providing an email.

Yeah, drives me crazy. God bless smart spam filters! Thunderbird does a good job with them, but I’ve heard spambots get around ReCAPTCHA.
And I have a question… why the hell am I required to give you my email?

Here’s a little tale for you

I was in my local newsagents browsing the motor mags and heard these two cunts bragging about mail bombing people – so I walked over and asked if they thought that was funny, they just said it does no harm, so I whacked the pair of them

I have had sackloads of spam shit in my time and it pisses me off no end, I’m a angry twat to start with, and when I heard these two cunts bragging about doing that, I saw red and laid them both out.

FUCKING SPAM WANKERS

Paul: You are absolutely right. This is why I want comments, to improve my thinking!

G: Broadly, you are right but if you haven’t read the history of Blue Frog, check it out. They were starting to have a positive effect.

Capri: Yeah, I reckon WordPress is getting very good at blocking spam.

Spamming the spammers with automated responses won’t work because they use bogus email addresses with other people’s domains. Anybody that has their own domain (with a catch-all email account) knows what I’m talking about.

Normally I agree with your posts, but this is just wrong. Your suggestion to “whack” spammers, presumably having secret assassins hunting out these innocent people and queitly killing them IS evil and IS wrong.

They should be executed IN PUBLIC. You’ll never get the message across until PhatBoyz12_xx can see his scum buddies getting their heads smashed in with baseball bats on Google video.

Sandra: Arrrrgh, I meant NOT evil! My proofreading let me down! Missing that one word changed the whole meaning of the post! I’ve changed it now.

Maliha: Yeah, it isn’t the type of thing I’d play at work

Mayang: I’m really hoping someone starts knocking them off.

Hellboy: Comment moderation isn’t spam protection, it makes life harder for commenter and I want to avoid that for as long as possible. WordPress blocks spam without having to resort to comment moderation!
