Spam in blogs – Comment Spam

August 29th, 2006 by Rose DesRochers · 5 Comments

It gives me immense displeasure to announce that comment spam is an  ongoing problem here. I have just cleaned out the last of the comment spam waiting to be moderated for now. I’ve had enough of porn, ringtones, online casino and penis enlargement comments for today. Does anyone know of a good Wordpress anti-spam plugin? I need one that actually works. How about a laugh!

What’s Your Spammer Name?

I’m Dunlop P. Deathward.

    I have no idea what is specifically available but I do know of some general priciples. Check out chongqed.org but also look for some image verification system often called captcha.

    That will filter the worst of it. However the best antispam uses a learning filter based on bysian AI which assignes a “score” to each word as to how likely it is to be a word in spam. The score of the passage is then taken and if above the limit rejected.

    Thunderbird antispam works like this.

    NucleusCMS has the SC plugin framework which I use but also makes use of global black lists (of IP addresses) as GBL is not new there could be a WP plug for it.

    Sadly once a spammer has you in his sights he (or she) will not stop hitting you with ever more spam. Fortunatly only your front page is PR; so you shouldn’t be that badly effected yet but it can get very bad.

    Good luck with the plugin search, let us know how you get on.

    I tried the image verification and it did not work. Someone suggested Akismet and that has stopped the comment spam. I used to receive over 100 spam comments per day.

    Akismet seems to work well, and CAPTCHA too. My bloghoster has the latter plus only registered users’ comments are posted automatically after they’ve done the Turing Test.

    The problem with CAPTCHA is that some of the generators create text that is illegible to humans as well as OCR bots… annoys some people that.
