Spam? Straight to Hell, boys…

Getting a lot of comment spam here - from a nasty bot from a certain online casino. :-(

Hopefully solved it via a cool plugin called Spam Karma - seems to be catching the buggers and sending them to hell - yes it describes automatic deleted spams as being sent to hell. A plugin after my own heart :-)

So if you have WordPress it's highly recommended, slightly technical but easier than most other Comment Spam plugins, but more importantly this works and they don't (apart from Kitten's Spam Words, which I still had to tweak to get work, but that requires me to select the spam if it gets through!)

So don't worry if the system tries to verify it's you by a entering a code - it's just trying to verify you're human and not an evil spambot. :-D

    Ahhh spambots.... that's what's been plaguing my podcast site then. I've had some dirty webcam ladies trawling my site for some reason and spamming it. :-(

    Ah is that the Pepomo1985 bot? There's info on that at phpBB.com how to stop the lesbian webcam spambots...I've amended my forum now to hopefully avoid it, it's nasty.

Please note if you're commenting for the first time, due to a lot of recent spam your comments sometimes may not be visible immediately on the blog, but they will appear shortly and the little hamsters who work so hard inside this blog have stored them safely away in their pouches. No I haven't been eating those funny fungi again...
