Anyone out there who has ever run a blog knows that one of the more annoying issues of it is dealing with Spam comments. People have tried all kinds of ways to filter them out from black listing words, IP or links, or making everyone type in those funny looking words.
I currently use Akismet which works pretty well but occasionally a Spam does get through and I have to manually clean it up. The last one to get through though really made me laugh at the irony of their own post (and no, I won’t be giving them some ‘link juice’).
I just can’t believe how many individuals post spam on websites, specially private blogs just for the interest of some link juice. I need to stay alert all day even with fantastic plugins like Akismet. I don’t want to imagine what would happen to my websites if I didn’t had this kind of security. Get a solid job spammers!
What do you guys use to block or filter spam? If you are one of those guys that lets everything in to make it easy for commenter how much work do you put it to delete all the spam manually?
