    My guess is that pamela has discovered a hack that some spammer is exploiting that appears to exist in pre-3.0 Wordpress installations.

    The comments are sometimes malformed and sometimes the HTML code gets in correctly. I conclude that some themes and/or plug-ins may be interfering with the smooth posting of these hack-comments.
    I did the same actually. Unfortunately, I've had these comments go through on my wp 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 : (

Not to mention occasional performance issues popping back up. That isn’t to say that PocketFives is unaware of these issues — as an admin on the site, I’ve informed the “decision-makers” of the problems many times and everyone agrees that the site needs fixing. When it actually gets done, that’s another issue altogether.

    Hi xrumer spam postings?

    also, to OP, editing all of your replies to make others in the thread look like the aholes is a totally classless move.

    There seems to be a break in the discussion because all of a sudden they start talking about trackbacks in the first discussion. Are they saying this hack is being done through trackbacks? That's an odd-looking trackback structure, in which case it must be a custom tool, not an actual blog doing trackbacks.

    This is starting to sound ugly because sooner or later whomever is doing this will get the flaws worked out and start selling the software.
