WordPress spam.
 

Any plugin suggestions to combat blog spam would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to turn off comments completely but am looking for a good plugin to verify that comments are being submitted by a human before they get through.

this is a kinda cool approach -- http://www.syndic8.com/~jeff/blog/index.php?p=103 -- :)

I removed the comment form of my sites. Problem solved.

akismet.. google it.

remove the comments

http://akismet.com/ very cool.

Maybe SpamKarma

Works so good... it should cost money.

sounds like a good idea...

My vote goes to Akismet as well.

YEP!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup

Put a note on the comment form that urls are not allowed and will blacklist the comment.

Add "www.", "http://", and ".com", ".biz", etc, to the comment blacklist.

Works pretty well.

Be nice to the SEOs out there and just leave your comments completely open!

Spam Karma is easy to configure and very effective.

thanks for the info.........

You misspelled "automattic."

No we didn't. :)

I turned off comments and STILL get alerts to approve/delete comments - pretty much all from the same Indian spammers. I can't figure out how they are posting, is there a workaround they are using?
