I released a new version of Stop Spammers this week, and then had to release a bug fix real fast, and today I had to release another bug fix.
I checked the first version for over a week on 6 blogs before I released it.
I did a quick check of the second release on 4 blogs for an hour or two.
I checked the last release for about 10 minutes on my test blog.
See the pattern?
I need to do more testing, but even when I try testing for a week, there are bugs that slip through. The problem with the last two releases was that the bug fixes made new bugs.
Also, I should test from scratch. I need to completely delete the plugin and check that the options entry is gone from mysql. Only then can I test the plugin from installation to decommission.
I hope this last version is good and I did not annoy too many people. I think it is a good plugin and prevents spammer registrations, while the other plugins try to identify the spam after the spammer has wandered in an unlocked door. This also prevents spam at the time the spammer is entering it, but that is a nice side effect and not the main reason for the plugin. Akismet does fine with spam.
