24,683 to be exact. and counting..

Since I’ve installed Akismet, many, many months ago, it has now caught over 600 spam messages. It’s accidently flagged only a handful of legit comments, which is pretty damn good considering the totals I now have..

I’d like to say thanks to the Wordpress team for keeping me (nearly) spam free!

Just when I thought things were settling down, I’ve been raped with comment spam. When will it end!
Within just the last 2 hours, I’ve got 6 of ‘em. Today (which is not yet over) i’ve had almost 45!
Thank goodness for Spam Karma 2 [shameless plug].

I assume my blog is being tested by some bots, probably to see what sort of information can get through to my actual comment page. Luckily nothing does. Everything gets moderated, unless you’re registered or you’ve already commented. So I give a big Fuck You to all the comment spam bots out there.. and I dare say, Do your worst!

In light of recieving multiple spam comments the last few days, I’ve decided to step things up a bit. I got rid of the Referrer Bouncer plugin, which didn’t seem to be working all that well and I installed Spam Karma 2.

It’s chock full of options and neat ways to rid blogs of comment spam, and it’s been praised very well.
