I feel like, ,maybe I should clarify my "spam" issue I am having on
Wordpress. I have Aiskmet and it works 98% of the time, I really
only get very few spam comments that get through the sitebut it
was frustrating for me when I would see on a daily basis where
Aiskmet would "stop" or catch like 100 spam comments in a day (or
what it thought was spam in a day.you see I was going through
each one just to make sure it was really spam because early on,
Rupert and Robert would for some reason get caught in my spam
filter(I have no idea why on that one)I just didn't
understand why so much spam was being directed towards my site and it
just frustrated me
Well I have learned a few thingsit was only a couple of posts
that were causing the issue...for some reason the post about the
Winnies, (the first one) I was getting all kinds of spam from that,
but as soon as I turned off comments for that postgone(I
still think it was some sort of plot by Robert Schoble.;)
Anyway, I think it just depends, Aiskmet does do a good job, I just
hate spam so much that even when it's caught, I hate itI'm anal,
as anyone who follows me on twitter knows.
So Schlomo keep the comments, it's not that bad.
