# New Plugin: Non-Numeric-Names

 * I use [Bad Behavior](http://www.ioerror.us/software/bad-behavior/) as my only
   anti-spam solution. For my own reasons, I don’t feel completely comfortable with
   Akismet or Spam Karma 2.
 * I’ve been receiving a ton of manual spam comments since upgrading to WordPress
   2.0 (confirmed as manually submitted by ioerror, author of Bad Behavior), all
   of which are slipping past Bad Behavior.
 * I noticed that almost all of these spam comments have an all-numeric user name.
   So I cooked up [non-numeric-names](http://www.skippy.net/download/plugins/non_numeric_names/non_numeric_names-1.0.zip),
   which simply marks as spam any comment with an all numeric name.
 * It’s not a fool proof anti-spam solution, but for those of you (like me) with
   qualms about some of the other tools, this might help minimize the amount of 
   moderation you perform on a daily basis.
