Hey Guys,
Well I was hoping to do this at 400, but it reached 401 when I was sleeping, and before I went to bed it was 398…anyway, a plugin for Wordpress called Akismet is teh plugin that everyone should have installed! It has caught 401 spam comments and counting.
The plugin is simple, you just install and it works neatly in the background. People report that Akismet says real comments are spam, but I dont get that problem, all comments caught by Akismet are ones I don’t want to see on my blog, also you can go through all the caught spam and see if its a real comment and just despam it.
Check it out, it will save you a lot of time!
Thanks,
WizzKid

Speaking of this… You should let people with one validated comment skip the admin validation. (WP has a setting for this)
Also, if you want, I can help you install my homebuilt spam protection. It’s Javascript based and has been working flawlessly against robot spam. (Although it doesn’t help against human spam, ie Nigerians hired to post spam)
Hey Man,
Wheres the option under WP admin? I couldnt find it, would be very handy! I think I will stick with akismet
thanks anyway!
Ahem I’m real comments marked down as spam!!!
