    Using askimet for anti-spam

    I just have an info or hobby website. I allow comments. So far I have only 2 published pages so not many see my website. I’d like to add a catch phrase such as a word or something which unless people input the word they cannot post or it’s marked as SPAM.

    In 5 days, with 2 pages, and just an info website I’m getting 40 Spam posts. Please help. Who are these spammers?

    Spammers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are robots, which programs like Askimet are very good at stopping. Some are people, which automated systems have a real problem stopping. Unfortunately, there is no perfect method to stopping comment SPAM – just like you cannot eliminate 100% of your email SPAM.

    I have this problems too, try to use Akismet. Even with Akismet, I still received a lot of spams daily.
