Spam comments

no-spam

I am really having problems regarding spam comments. Sure, Akismet catches most of it. But it gets really annoying seeing how many spam comments manage to get into this blog. Just a minute ago, I deleted 22 spam comments. A small number, considering, but I also deleted around 40+ a few minutes before that.

I want to use a stronger spam filter plugin. What are you using?

    I’ve just saw a similar post at yet another blog!
    Looks like everyone has Spam-Pains!
    You have Akismet already, just add WP Anti-Spam SpamFree and BanHammer and you are set.

    Spam is always a problem with blogs, the best way to combat it is to install as many spam plugins as possible.

    WP Anti Spam and BanHammer are both good ones to start with.

    I can so relate with you… Im experiencing the same. I also use Akismet but what I did was to block their IP address thru cPanel.

    I’ve found the most effective plugin for comment spam is WP-SpamFree

    With Askismet you still have to spend way too much time handling comment spam. Whereas WP-SpamFree does it all for you and it still lets genuine comments through. I installed it months ago and haven’t had any problems with comment spam since.

    I´m having a similar problem in my food blog. I´ve been receiving loads of spam comments, many of them in what looks to be Chinese.
    My best option so far is to approve all comments manually. I´d also like to have an anti-spam plugin that works well for blogger…
