Comment spam getting past Akismet
Wordpress bloggers out there currently experiencing problems with comment spam? Â I’ve been using Akismet for some time, mostly with reasonable results with the vast majority of spam being successfully captured. Â In the last few days, however, I’ve had more than 300 get through. Â Well… I say ‘get through’ but since first-time commenters have to be approved, they didn’t make it on to the site. Â It’s still annoying to have them clogging up the admin interface, however. Â Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Hmmm… problem hopefully solved. It looks like I just needed to update the plugin.

Akismet is just the best. It’s incredible how well it works. Also gmail has a fab spam block – I rarely get spam in my inbox or falsely labelled message in the spam. Yahoo, on the other hand, don’t get me started… I am ready to abandon ship on my Yahoo mail due to the floods of spam I get there.
Like the site by the way! Although I still stay in hostels, now I am increasingly an old fart I like an odd bit of luxury now and again… now that I can afford it!
Best wishes

I Use Squarespace for our blog site at www. selectworld.travel and “Touch Wood” only get the odd 1 or two spammers. The Squarespace system seems to weedle them out extremely well. You’d think these spammers would get a life and find something better to do!
