multiuser blog spam problem

Post by jerwarren »

The spam protector plugin exhibits some unwanted behavior that only occurs on multi-user blogs. Whenever a comment is posted to an entry that the spam protector thinks is spam, the email message is sent to the person who posted the post rather than the blog administrator.

It seems to me that these should only be going to the administrator, as it is up to them to decide what comments should and shouldn't be posted. Am I correct in thinking this way?

Hi!

E-Mails are usually always sent to the author of an entry, because he shall have authoritative about the comments to his entries.

It would actually touch core code routines to change this behaviour, I think.

At least on the multiuser blogs I participate in (like blog.s9y.org) that's the way I would actually like it, to be the one that moderates comments to the entries I made...

Regards,
Garvin
