[pmwiki-users] Comment on spam protection for blog comments

If the comments run through the same approvals that normal page edits  
do, then they can be checked for number of links and Blocklist  
entries.  That should pretty much take care of most commentspam.  I  
get maybe one "successful" wikispam a month or less right now and run  
several open-edit wikis.  I don't see why comments would be spammed  
more than the wiki itself and I have no plans to require logins on my  
open-edit wikis, even after I add blogging features.
