 * I hope this hasn’t already been posted, I didn’t see it…
    I too have been getting
   lots of spam comments. I changed my setting to Hold a comment in the queue if
   it contains more than 2 links. I just got a comment posted with 3 links in it.
   I decided to do a test and I was also able to post a comment with 3 links in 
   it, using just www links. Then I posted with full url [http://www](http://www)
   etc. The first posted and the second went to moderation. Is this normal?

 * Not really. When you say three links, are you including the one posted in the“
   website” field? Along with Name and Email? As far as I can tell, the link moderation
   only counts links posted in the actual comment.

 * No, I’m not counting that one. I put three in the comment itself.

 * It seems like some spammers have found a way around this. There are plenty of
   alternatives here: [http://tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/spam/](http://tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/spam/)
