Comment spam problems

  • Hello,

    I’ve been dealing with an abnormal amount of spam for a long time. Akismet is catching them all fortunately and adding them to my spam queue.

    I tried the reCAPTCHA plugin for wordpress, which allows me to require a captcha be typed in in order to make an anonymous comment, but for some reason I’m still getting spam. This apparently isn’t working.

    Anyone have any advice for this? I don’t want to completely prevent unregistered users from commenting on my blog, but I need some preventative measures to prevent spammers from making comments as well.

  • In the Akismet options, you can set it to automatically delete spam comments on posts over one month old. That really cut down on the number of spam comments I had to deal with.
