About a year ago I found a fantastic plugin that helped me automatically detect, flag, and even suspend spammers and I am exhausted trying to find it again. The idea was something like this: You create a list of words to look for; example: win, winner contest, bank, lottery, call, phone. Then you would set a threshold; example: Using 2 words would flag the user as possible spammer. Using 3 words would automatically suspend the user.
If anyone knows of this plugin I would appreciate it if they could give me the name of it or a link to it. Also, I hope others that don't know about it yet find it useful too.

I appreciate your reply, RvR. Your suggested "Badword filter" plugin can achieve a similar goal but is much more limited. It will be moderately useful until I can find or redevelop the plugin described in my original post.
Where is my precious?! :)
Did I ask this in the wrong discussion area?
