<p>NOTE: Worst Offenders for WordPress 2.5 is currently a pre-alpha release for developer feedback only.</p>
<p>If you use any anti-spam tool you will no doubt be delighted that spam can be automatically identified, but less happy that you now have to either trawl through the spam to check for false positives, or just give up and hope for the best – this is where Worst Offenders can help: it analyses messages already marked as spam and uses several techniques to identify messages with common sources, subjects and content – those which are definitely spam.  These <em>Worst Offenders</em> can be deleted en-masse, hopefully leaving just a handful of messages that can be checked by hand.</p>
<h3>To do</h3>
<p>Switch to using wp_cache wherever options were used<br />
Improve count function to remove duplicates</p>

<p>Few users are familiar with the comment block list built into WordPress. Located in the WordPress admin area under “Settings”—“Discussion”, that block list for incoming comments accepts values (words) to identify spam by.</p>
<p>Additionally to plugins like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/antispam-bee/" rel="ugc">Antispam Bee</a> in order to fight spam successfully a curated comment block list is recommendable. You can either update the list manually, or utilize a very detailed global <a href="https://github.com/splorp/wordpress-comment-blacklist" rel="nofollow ugc">comment block list</a> that gets updated on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Block List Updater has been developed to keep your comment block list in your WordPress installation up to speed with the curated global list on GitHub.</p>
<p>The plugin will check the global comment block list on GitHub multiple times a day. Whenever new anti-spam values have been added to the global list, Block List Updater will read the global list and update your WordPress database accordingly. While the check-up process will run several times a day, the plugin will only update the database when it detects an actual change of the global comment block list on GitHub.</p>
