   Well, in the fine tradition that all comments should eventually turn into SSM discusions, I link to:

   http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/002920.html

   (and, test the controls to see if short comments with a link get grabbed).

   FYI all (especially those using WP blogs), this is what I implemented (and it seems to be working!).

   // Further flood-protection
   if ($url) {
   $lastten = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT comment_date FROM $tablecomments WHERE comment_author_url = ‘$url’ ORDER BY comment_date DESC LIMIT 10,1″);
   if (!empty($lastten))
   {
   $date_lastten= mysql2date(‘U’, $lastten);
   $date_newcomment= mysql2date(‘U’, $now);
   if (($date_newcomment – $date_lastten) LESS THAN* 86400)
   $approved = 0;
   }
   }

   *NOTE: For some reason, it’s not letting me use the real “less than” sign here. That’s what I have in the code, of course.

   What it does (I think) is check back for the past ten comments using the same URL. So if I enter a comment with the URL kaimipono.com, it will check back on the last ten comments that have been entered with that URL. If the tenth one back is less than a day old, it will automatically put my comment in the wait list for individual approval or deletion.

   This means that if I want to advertise my new gambling / pr0n / whatever site by adding 50 new comments at midnight when no one is watching the blog, I won’t actually be able to get 50 comments up. After the first 10, all additional comments with that same URL will be automatically waitlisted.
