@Phoneboy I see you had to delete spam Webmentions. It would be great if you could document some of the details on the #indieweb wiki. Or at more length on one of your sites. There have been concerns about the spamming potential but few (none?) seen in the wild, so that would be really valuable.

A couple of days ago, @phoneboy mentioned the fun he had deleting the spam webmentions he had received on WordPress. I asked him to document them. Now Phoneboy replies: Once I figure out the right settings, I’ll let you know. And I’m not sure what that means. What right settings? Doesn’t WordPress keep a copy of all comments it receives? It would be really useful to see the contents of those “spam webmentions,” where they came from, what they contained, who sent them, simply because, as I said before, so few of these imagined evils have so far been spotted in the open. Not sure what settings that requires. Also, the irony of this question has not escaped me: Also, where did you post this comment? Didn’t see it in micro.blog. I posted it here. Where else would I post it? #indieweb
Once I figure out the right settings, I’ll let you know.
Also, where did you post this comment? Didn’t see it in micro.blog.
