Spam-free Wordpress
 

Anyone use this plugin? http://www.toddlahman.com/spam-free-wordpress/ Can you recommend something simpler but very powerful?

Just recently started to use it.. works great

What were you using it before? Can Akismet be used with it simultaneously?

I was trying captcha plugins with no luck, this plugin removes the ability to post html in comments so I think that is the best option

akismet is good

Second that....

Cookies
 

I have been using cookies for comments http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...-for-comments/

I have been using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nospamnx/
And pretty happy with it ..

Trying it now on your recommendation, will report back soon.

They are not free but together they seem to work.

Akismet does all the job for me.

akismet works just fine
