This helps your site's load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and also contributes to prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Holy Shmoly!] <a href="http://ocaoimh.ie/more-ways-to-stop-spammers-and-unwanted-traffic/" rel="nofollow">More ways to stop spammers and unwanted traffic</a>: I, too have been plagued by spam (100,000 in one day), and tried to use this stuff. However, I put some of this stuff in my htaccess file (assuming that is where it is supposed to go&#8211;it never says in the post) and was blocked from my own site.  </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Scatmania] <a href="http://www.scatmania.org/2005/08/06/openid-for-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">OpenID For WordPress &#171; Scatmania</a>: No, I don&#8217;t use any complex arrays (by their definition) and by the OpenID spec, am never likely to, but I&#8217;d rather include the bigger, more powerful http_build query for completeness (so that people feel able to use it as http_build_query if they need to). </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Humanized Weblog] <a href="http://humanized.com/weblog/2006/11/15/battling_spam_and_the_ring_of_gyges/" rel="nofollow">Humanized &gt; Weblog: Battling Spam and the Ring of Gyges</a>: There is a huge cost in deciphering (OCRing) images, no matter how simple they are, and I&#8217;m guessing most spam bots would not bother with it, especially if it is only for comment systems. Where they would try would be on services such as Gmail, where they can automatically get accounts (with manual setup of a bot to specifically target that web service), and use that to spam people who would not normally receive such and thus pay attention. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[The Goldfish Chronicles] <a href="http://blog.generationjava.com/roller/bayard/entry/roller-wordpress" rel="nofollow">The Goldfish Chronicles &raquo; Blog Archive &raquo; Roller-&gt;WordPress</a>: For spam, I&#8217;d suggest grabbing Spam Karma 2 (SK2) instead of using Akismet as Akismet seems to have a fairly high rate of false positives. Until recently SK2 has just worked perfectly for me almost never missing a spam comment - lately there&#8217;s been quite a few making it as far as moderation which is annoying but still not actually getting through. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Holy Shmoly!] <a href="http://ocaoimh.ie/how-to-successfully-spam-blogs-and-how-to-fight-back/" rel="nofollow">How to successfully spam blogs (and how to fight back)</a>: Another thing I&#8217;ve noticed is a trend with these human spammers, besides searching for &#8220;leave a reply&#8221;, is using the key term followed by comments or leave comments.

If the reporting isn&#8217;t done in real time as the link spam is encountered, you&#8217;re just going to see a subset of results, and it may only include feedback from people with the time and motivation to manipulate the system. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[jimgroom] <a href="http://jimgroom.umwblogs.org/2010/01/25/deleting-old-mysql-tables-across-blogs-and-databases-in-wpmu/" rel="nofollow">jimgroom &raquo; Deleting old MySQL tables across blogs and databases in ...</a>: Now I imagine very few folks have this specific issue with Spam Karma 2, so the details of this script may seem irrelevant. But if you think about it, if there is a plugin that inserts tables on numerous blogs spread across various databases, and an uninstall of that plugin doesn&#8217;t delete the tables, then such a script would be quite useful to you.  </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Build That List] <a href="http://www.buildthatlist.com/internet-marketing/17-wordpress-plugins-that-will-improve-your-blog/" rel="nofollow">Wordpress Plugins That Will Improve Your Blog &#124; Build That List</a>: I just installed CommentLuv and KeywordLuv last night, and wouldn&#8217;t have even known about them if it weren&#8217;t for you blog.

Let&#39;s hope so because they may not get away with it on blogs with good moderation but there are probably plenty that get through on non marketing/seo/tech blogs. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[taint.org: Justin Mason's Weblog] <a href="http://taint.org/2006/05/31/111003a.html" rel="nofollow">Blog Spam, and a &#39;nofollow&#39; Post-Mortem / taint.org: Justin ...</a>: In response to Jim up above, I also have a homebrew blog, but someone at some point took the time to write an automated poster to it, much to my surprise. I noticed that the IP address that it was posted from was completely unrelated (often on the other side of the world) from the form site (it made 3 connections, one to get the form, one to post, and one to check to see if it posted).  </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Snook.ca] <a href="http://snook.ca/archives/other/effective_blog_comment_spam_blocker" rel="nofollow">How I built an effective blog comment spam blocker - Snook.ca</a>: And I who thought of start to use a new email (Since the old one is quite outdated) ;) Well, the algorithm for catching spam is really intresting - it's quite different from getting the CAPTCHA's to work for you (like the 2+2 or the enter the characters on the image) but I am a bit thoughtful about the length of the links as well the intro text. I find it quite unfair to entirely ban "Interesting, sorry, cool" because I feel that soon spammer would skip the word and just to "I think..." - maybe -5 instead? </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[LISNews - Librarian And Information Science News] <a href="http://www.lisnews.org/internet_crime_complaint_center_posts_new_vishing_update" rel="nofollow">Internet Crime Complaint Center Posts New &quot;Vishing&quot; Update &#124; LISNews</a>: with WordPress, either Akismet or Spam Karma 2 seems to block nearly all spam comments--and I decided not to show linkbacks when I started the blog. As for wikis, "open" wikis with any traffic at all are extremely vulnerable...but with double verification and daily monitoring, you can keep things under control. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[I'd Rather Be Writing - Tom Johnson] <a href="http://www.idratherbewriting.com/2007/04/17/the-wordpress-plugins-im-using-see-my-autogenerated-plugin-page/" rel="nofollow">The WordPress Plugins I&#39;m Using &#8221;&#148; See Screenshots of a Wide ...</a>: It's only been a day or so, but I haven't gotten any spam since then. If you have spent more than a few hours on the internet then you've probably noticed a variety of page titles, ranging from bland and non-descriptive all the way to downright misleading.  </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Jeremy Zawodny's blog] <a href="http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/006800.html" rel="nofollow">Nofollow No Good? (by Jeremy Zawodny)</a>: One prime way for you to turn around the loss of value caused by introduction of nofollow tags would be to find a way to give a site a portion of importance weighting for how many valuable outbound links they use. If the site is in a "good neighborhood", isn't using spammish/black-hat practices, and has healthy/nonsuspect linking schemes, give them a bit of a "reward" for the number and quality of outbound links. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Humanized Weblog] <a href="http://humanized.com/weblog/2006/11/15/battling_spam_and_the_ring_of_gyges/" rel="nofollow">Humanized &gt; Weblog: Battling Spam and the Ring of Gyges</a>: There is a huge cost in deciphering (OCRing) images, no matter how simple they are, and I&#8217;m guessing most spam bots would not bother with it, especially if it is only for comment systems. Where they would try would be on services such as Gmail, where they can automatically get accounts (with manual setup of a bot to specifically target that web service), and use that to spam people who would not normally receive such and thus pay attention. </p><!-- technorati tags -->&#13;&#10;<p class="posted">Reflected tags on Technorati: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Blog" rel="nofollow">Blog</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/spam%2Bkarma"  rel="tag" title="See the Technorati page for 'Spam Karma'" rel="nofollow">Spam Karma</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Targeting%2BSpam"  rel="tag" title="See the Technorati page for 'Targeting Spam'" rel="nofollow">Targeting Spam</a></p>&#13;&#10;<!-- technorati tags -->&#13;&#10;<!--<p>&#13;&#10;non-blog wikis akismet </p>-->]]>

(updated)</a>: The switch by TLA to using TinyURL (not keen as they have been abused by too many users and just look kind of spammy imho)        is very sudden and for some people it&#8217;s probably going to involve a lot of work. I&#8217;m also concerned because I&#8217;m already using redirects on links like this, largely for nothing more ominous than tracking purposes, but as you say, this now means a redirect to another redirect&#8230;. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[ParisLemon] <a href="http://parislemon.com/2009/06/on-trolls.html" rel="nofollow">ParisLemon &raquo; On Trolls</a>: I like to think someone would ananlyze similarities in troll comments - as I refuse to believe they are that diverse and write some script to put into site code that would filter a lot of the offending content out without human intervention. Stuff that fell outside set analytics would need human eyes to judge worthiness but that should be considerably less than the torrent of trolls currently infesting the net. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Blog Maverick] <a href="http://blogmaverick.com/2007/05/14/wanted-new-tv-show-ideas/" rel="nofollow">Wanted - New TV Show Ideas &#171; blog maverick</a>: Secondly, I would consider the possibility that customers could be provided with TV-like, computer-monitor-like, objects that are cheaper than a TV or a computer monitor, that could hang on walls like paintings. Such TV-like objects would be cheaper and simpler than normal TVs/computer-monitors in that they would not be able to do things that TVs and computer monitors can do-yet still, they would be able to display depending on their cost, and based on customer choice re what still or video will display, hi-def still images and/or hi def video clips and or hi def full length video. </p><!-- technorati tags -->&#13;&#10;<p class="posted">Reflected tags on Technorati: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Blog" rel="nofollow">Blog</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/spam%2Bkarma"  rel="tag" title="See the Technorati page for 'Spam Karma'" rel="nofollow">Spam Karma</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Targeting%2BSpam"  rel="tag" title="See the Technorati page for 'Targeting Spam'" rel="nofollow">Targeting Spam</a></p>&#13;&#10;<!-- technorati tags -->&#13;&#10;<!--<p>&#13;&#10;techcrunch plugin robots </p>-->]]>

By this way, the spammer can be blocked before the content of your site is served. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Hacking Truths] <a href="http://www.hungry-hackers.com/2010/01/43-excellent-wordpress-security-tips-and-plugins.html" rel="nofollow">43 Excellent Wordpress Security Tips &amp; Plugins</a>: It is suggested to remove any unwanted information to the non-admin for security reasons so it will remove update information about plugins, themes and core update information. Secure WordPress will add a blank index.html to the plug-in directory such that if anyone is trying to view the contents of the directory they will be viewing a blank page instead of the contents. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Tubetorial] <a href="http://www.tubetorial.com/three-wordpress-plugins-to-fight-comment-spam/" rel="nofollow">Three WordPress Plugins to Fight Comment Spam &#124; Tubetorial</a>: This is how the plugin&#8217;s Options page looks- you&#8217;ll need to sign up for two API keys (it&#8217;s free at the reCAPTCHA site), and as you can see, you can enable it for comments, or hide it from registered users, and enable it on your registration form, in case you accept signups on your WordPress blog. It also has another feature called MailHide, which helps protect email addresses on your blog- always a good thing. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Toronto] <a href="http://seo-toronto-canada.com/Toronto/?p=89" rel="nofollow">fight comment spam bots WordPress forums &#124; Toronto</a>: &#8220;When registering a user, will compare their data (nickname, IP and mail) with the DB &#8220;Stop Forum Spam&#8221;.

They are reposting real, highly-intelligent, on-topic comments that you&#8217;ve seen before so it&#8217;s incredibly easy to let them slip by. </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Solostream] <a href="http://www.solostream.com/blog/wordpress/top-ten-wordpress-plugins-for-2010-part-1/" rel="nofollow">Top 10 Wordpress Plugins 2010 Part One &#124; Solostream</a>: SpamShiv Lite converts any email addresses on your site to code that is not recognized as an email addres.

Therefore it is sufficient to add two extra text fields to form (one empty and one with predefined value), and check their values after the form is submitted.  </p>&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;<p>[Lorelle on WordPress] <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2007/03/30/weekly-digest-hating-web-hosts-blog-herald-wordpress-wednesdays-and-wordpress-plugins/" rel="nofollow">Weekly Digest: Hating Web Hosts, Blog Herald WordPress Wednesdays ...</a>: There are also many WordPress Plugins for images which also offer a variety of thumbnail control and options, including thumbnail sizing.
