I had trouble finding a plugin that would work with a theme I recently purchased that had a custom comment form and didn’t use the comment_form() function. I had all but given up. Then I found your plugin, bcSpamBlock. It appears to run flawlessly with my comment form despite not being updated in years, and has stopped SPAM completely (100%) so far. The particular theme I purchased has a thousand or more of purchases and I posted a link to your website/plugin in the support area for this theme. You might notice a big increase in downloads.

I just want to thank you for this plugin, and to let you know about the possible increase in downloads.

Thanks!
Chris

This plugin works fantastically, it does need an update however, I cannot post from the admin screen as I “fail the security check” or whatever. Could you please fix this?

@Siegfried, I do see that behavior with my blog and never noticed that it wasn’t functioning as intended. I don’ t think that bcspamblock is causing it though. The function that checks the validation either returns the comment as-is or dies with an error message. I don’t see how that could cause it to be flagged for moderation.

sometimes comments from regular users are held for moderation as well (users not logged, no links in comment)

In reply to Siegfried. I did notice a problem when adding/editing comments from the admin screens in WP 2.7. I've changed the code to automatically approve comments if logged in to wordpress as an administrator. I have just committed a new version to the wordpress plugin repository.
