    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.
