Automatically spam comments with a very long url

[Wordpress hack]

Spam is definitely a problem for bloggers and most of you probably receive more than 100 spam comments per hour. Here is a simple recipe to automatically mark as spam all comments with an url longer than 50 characters.

Open your functions.php file and paste the code below in it. This code will automatically mark as spam all comments with an url longer than 50 chars. This can be changed on line 4.

function rkv_url_spamcheck( $approved , $commentdata ) {
    return ( strlen( $commentdata['comment_author_url'] ) > 50 ) ? 'spam' : $approved;
  }

  add_filter( 'pre_comment_approved', 'rkv_url_spamcheck', 99, 2 );
