There’s a Spam-Storm Brewing

Mmm It works ok on my blog. I had to join at wordpress and get the activation code from there. If they disable it and offer to charge me, then I will have to use something else. We should not have to go to all this trouble to stop the antics of the worthless cesspit of humanity. Does anyone actually "click" the ads on their shitty sites?

Ben:

By little numbers and letters do you mean the captcha? If so just change that in your settings.

Steve:

I do use Akismet on other blogs but whenever I've tried to use it on anything resembling a commercial blog it's been disabled. It works mighty fine but I'd moderate all comments before paying for a solution.

Vaspers:

What the hell are you talking about?

Once you solve the Spam Problem, you may wish to learn the basics of Blog Glimpsing.

I have had my full head transplant, by some Britishy blokes at Resonance FM, a collab commune of London artists.

I have been re-processed and reformed by The Exciting Hellebore Shew of Dan Wilson aka Meadow House. His show "Unlistenable Special", and "Robot Shew" and "Overdose Pie" and did I mention "Strange music and post-boring stories"? All of em warped me permanently.

Now I advocate Blog Glimpsing, a highly technical term for advanced blogheads.

Not to mention the list of How To Select Blogs to Visit, which is an elementary introductory lecture on the complex but simple subject of Blog Glimpsing.

Comment moderation should stop all spam. Just delete all comments to save time, and only provide the illusion of a social media interactive forum.

Works for me.

Paul, do you use Askimet? It seems to do a good job for me, it caught 179 spam comments last week!

I came here because that Spam Karma thing was so impossible to use on a site I was trying to leave a comment on. The little letters and numbers were absolutely incomprehensible. It was like a bad joke. I guess it killed my commenting ability, along with any spam.
