Gawd, I thought I had an issue with email spam, but every day, I login to my WP control panel and I have upwards of 30 SPAM messages on my blog and usually NOT ONE good one. How do I deal with this. I always mark All as Spam and get rid of them, but no improvement. In fact it gets worse every day.
Anybody have some insights for this weary clicker?
Plugins help. I like Captcha! and Spam Karma. Spam Karma alone is probably enough. Akismet is another popular choice.
Save up to $96 at Dreamhost with ALMOST97 promo code (I get $1).
Or save $97 with THEFULL97.
wordpress usually comes with akismet installed as standard but you need to sign up with wordpress.com to get an API key to activate it.
I find this alone catches most spam comments.
I don’t think just marking the comments as spam makes it learn what is spam.
Get [color=#00CC00]FULL DISCOUNT[/color] off any hosting plan using [color=#CC0000]DISCOMBO97[/color].
Thanks both of you for responding. I’ve installed Spam Karma and I’m liking it so far.
Happy April Fools day - die spam fools!
