WordPress Plug-in Comment Timeout

Comment Timeout is a WordPress plugin that allows you to selectively close comments on your blog to help reduce spam. There are three ways in which it can do this:
- It lets you close comments on old entries that do not have an ongoing, active discussion.
- It examines your spam queue and your Bad Behavior logs to let you close comments and trackbacks across the board to troublesome IP addresses.
- It allows you to reject comments that contain too many hyperlinks, or links in BBCode format.
I have found this very useful. Instead of me having to go in and manually change the status of comments, I have it done automatically. Akismet doesn’t catch All the Spam and this helps a lot.
