I am a WordPress developer and Systems Administrator. I have a client with a pretty large community (about 5000 uniques a day). They have to deal with tons of SPAM; 200-400 messages a day. One of their administrators of their site installed the Top Spammers plugin and once or twice a day it was causing Apache/PHP to OOM and bring down their server. I think it has something to do with the way you block access to the wp-comment-post.php file and how PHP reacts. Contact me and I can send you the error logs and more information. I haven't had time to really go through the plugin, so I am not sure what might else be causing the issue. Thank you. Lew Ayotte P.S. They are on WordPress 3.0 and PHP 5.3 There seems to be something wrong with your plugin… I am a WordPress developer and Systems Administrator.

In fact my plugin won't work without another anti-spam plugin and I highly recommend Akismet. @Dev: this is not meant to be a replacement for Akismet.

It gets extremely few hits, so I have no rush. Thanks for using the plugin. I felt the 403 page needed a link, and then I haven’t gotten around to posting anything there.

I have only just installed it and already I have 3 IPs addresses in the deny list for the wp-comments-post file. I guess you already know, but the URL referenced in the 404 page on your blog comes up as "under construction". I guess there is not a lot you can say to someone who is the source of spam, unless you can recommend a good spam-bot solution for the ones who are innocent victims. Martin,
