How to keep spammers away from my blog?

i use a mix of Amismet and SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam and never get much spam besides of course human link building spammers lol. "you wouldnt mind if they just posted good content"

 

I use NoSpamNX and Akismet.

 

Askimet and Recaptha is the best way but there are plenty of ways around it

 

Use reCAPTCHA

 

I used to have lots of spammers too. When I switched on Akismet and captcha it died right down. Also approve comments first.

 

How do you add the Recaptcha to wordpress? I have installed the plugin but where do you add the code and stuff. I have searched online and not much info to find. Please help me.

Thanks

Just use liek any other plugin

 

hire a forum mod whom can take away all the spam

 

I just had this similar problem happen
I logged into WP and bam - i wasnt able to edit or change anything in my CP - i had to re-update my WP - and then use akismet - i hope that takes of this crap

 

Yay! I always wondered if there was something to get rid of those pesky spammers! BOO! to them.. thanks!

 

Captchas are the best way to go IMO. I have never used Akisment, so maybe that works better.

Don't worry about people buying captcha solves. The idea of spamming is to have virtually free advertising, so I doubt whoever is spamming your blog is going to buy them.

 

Well, you are right about spammers and free advert. I will want you to give askimet a trial. its dynamite. Infact your spammers are put out of way without you doing any job.
