I’m trying out a new comment spam defense: Spam Karma 2. This is in addition to Bad Behavior, and I probably don’t need both, but Bad Behavior wasn’t doing enough. Since last night when I activated the Wordpress plugin, I’ve received no spam.
I also tried Hash-cash, but was unable to post a comment at all.
Why not just use Akismet? It’s free for non-commercial use. I have 100% success with it blocking SPAM, no false positives to speak of, and integrates right into Wordpress.
Hi Erik - I was just reading your blog today on how to install DJabberd - thanks for the howto!
I don’t think my blogs are non-commercial because I have adsense integrated into them. Anyway, Spam Karma 2 is working out great ever since I staggered the comment IDs:
