I have been receiving many spam comments and marking them as spam as and when they are received, but I’m not sure what this is achieving.

When you mark a comment as spam, what information are you actually using to help identify future spam comments?

I often receive spam comments which are word-for-word copies of comments I’ve previously marked as spam, and yet I have to mark them as spam also. I’d like to see the spam filter learn from each comment previously marked as spam so that it can identify similar ones as spam automatically, by making comparisons with comments that are already in the spam bin.

At present it appears that marking a comment as spam does little more than store it away from view.

Are you using Akismet?

If not, you’re doing nothing, just delete ’em. If you ARE, you’re telling Akismet’s super sekrit engine ‘Hey, THIS is what spam looks like!’ and teaching it ??

By the way. Use Akismet. It works ??

Thanks, I’ve activated Akismet so I’ll see how it deals with things from now on. So without it marking things as spam is pointless then. Thought as much.

Is another awesome plugin….

I believe @ipstenu or @otto recommended it previously somewhere….

It stops the spam comments before they ever get to you. It took me from 25+ spam comments a day, to maybe 1 a week getting in for me to moderate

Using it alongside akismet has been a timesaver for me

We both do ?? @otto swayed me over to it recently, and I love it.

I also use Bad Behavior, but that’s because one of my sites gets a lot of bots and I have open registration.

might want to try this one
this requires no user interaction after install
you don’t ever even see the spam….it simply never shows up on your site
I was getting 100’s of spam comments (which I had effectively created filters to mark them as spam….but which still required me to delete / deal with them) prior to installing this
normal comments seem to come through just fine…just no more spam
