Spammers – get a life
Oct 9th, 2006 by Peter
So I looked away from the moderation panel in WordPress for 2 days, and 468 spam comment were posted. Someone out there must be bored. Fortunately Akismet Spam caught em all.
Akismet has caught 5,897 spam for you since you first installed it.
I cant remember what time I installed it, but it can’t be more than 6-7 months ago.
[…] Spam is through the roof these days. Since I last mentioned it (9. oct) I’ve had 3178 spam messages here. Thats 9075 so far and 54% more in 8 days! […]
I am having the same problem…Over 15,000 caught on my site and some of them are still getting through…
I fear I am going to have to resort to comment registration…
I routinely report these guys to their IPs and flag any sites that I can with the free host…It is time consuming for me, but not as tough as setting up 20 new domains….
I am glad I stumbled across your blog…
Greetings from GZ!!

Hi Lonnie,
tnx for your comment. Sent you an email, with a suggestion on how to sort it. I recently installed this:

…and it seems to work!
Just wanted to share the good news and hope that maybe this would help you too :-)
