Because of the INSANE amount of comment spam I am getting, I added code to check every comment for certain words, and if it has any of those words (even if its just part of another word, like pokerific), it’s getting blocked.

Okay, a bit of a nerdy topic, but important nonetheless.
Just to make clear, I am predominantly a WYSIWYG kinda guy. I first cut my teeth on Front Page, and I used up until a few years ago as my main web creation platform.
