Installed a new spam plug-in – Spam Karma. Since Friday night it has blocked 270 spam comments from being entered. 270 in just over 36 hours. It has many more options than the previous plug-in I was using and it seems to be doing a good job of picking up any new comments that shouldn’t be displayed. Like spam mail and spyware, spam commenting (and soon to be spam trackbacks) are ruining the net for the average user.
I might give this a look. Though I’m very happy at the moment with Spam Assassin. Of course that relies on you running your own mail servers, but most web hosting gives you that these days. Spam has almost completely been eradicated for me right now.
