    Why do spammers have to ruin things for everyone?

    seriously, they just spam all over the web. On average a decent website gets over 25-50 spam comments per day, thanks to akismet we dont have to do the dirty work of removing them

    It could be a technical problem. All system has flaws no matter how good people run it; after all they are made by human.

    it seems the feedburner foum doesnt have enough spam protection. No akismet or other spam capture plugin installed on that PHPBB board.
