I almost hesitate to spread the word on this one... once spammers get wind of it, they can just leave a generic "legitimate" comment ("I agree, good post!"), then flood your blog with spam. So SHH! ;-) So far, no spam comments have gotten through on my blog, because I've set it so that all comments with 4 or more links go to moderation, but it's only a matter of time before WordPress gets popular enough to merit spammers "figuring out" how to get around that. But this looks like a great backup option for the future. I don't wanna whip out the CAPTCHA unless I really have to... Beautiful.

On my Wordpress site I used a combination of plugins. I use the Ubergeeks plugin to have posts older than 10 days go into comment moderation mode, and then I use Skippy's comment moderation plugin to allow people to receive an email to auto approve their own comments. Although, I guess this does put the slight burden on the commenter, so if that's not what you'd want for your site, then Kitten's sounds very cool. I may have to compare which I like better! :) Oooh that looks like a neat option. On my Wordpress site I used a combination of plugins.
