No More SPAM Comments
Ever since i started this, i have had more than 10,000 spam comments and only 3 valid ones, a mind numbing amount of spam which i had to sort out and mark each of the spam comments one by one. There was a time i had to sort through 3000 comments. And i can remember a time that i basically had to run some sql queries on the database to mark everything as spam. This is when i left this blog alone for about 2 months. I have looked into a solution but it seems nothing worked.
Then i found WPSpamFree, it very simple to install with the new WordPress 2.7. Its been 48 hours since i activated that plugin and it has blocked about 80 SPAM comments. Hopefully this ANTISPAM solution will hold. Right now it is such a relief to not get countless comment alert on my email and to spend hours sorting through all the comments. I think this is something that WordPress should come with by default to help newbies on dealing with the thousands of spammers out there.
