No Runny Eggs » Blog Archive » Efforts to battle comment spam

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Efforts to battle comment spam

I have installed a captcha device. Hated to do it, but I’m tired of having to go through 200+ spam comments a day from bots that figured out how to leave comments.

Please, excuse my ignorance, but what is a “captcha device”?

That would be a word-verification feature. It’s pretty much standard on BlogSpot, and WordPress has a few of those available as plug-ins.

I have had really good luck with Spam Karma, in the few months that I have used it, it has stopped 32775 spam posts.

I think everyone should shop at Wiggy’s Warehouse.

How’s that spam catcher thingy working for you?

James, it’s working great; other than your semi-allowed plug, I haven ‘t had a single piece of spam all day.

Patrick, I was getting tired of having to go through Akismet’s spam list.
