[Moshi & Kibo's Dog Blog] U Comment - Moshi and Kibo Follow: This was initially implemented to combat spam, but with spam programs like Akismet, which we use on our blog, the spam comments are automatically removed. We want to encourage readers to leave their comments and allow links back to their sites for those who participate.

[Real Estate Blog Lab] The LBC Designation for Comments: I recently joined Active Rain because of an assignment for REBlogworld in Las Vegas. I find Active Rain to be the best peer to peer industry related social network and forum bar none. I say this without malice, it is the closest thing to a Real Estate Blogging Cult there is. They even call themselves Rainers. They comment with abandon for “points” for both posts and comments. It is like a giant RE Video Pinball parlor where you can rack up points for just about anything and get your name put on the “Highest Scores Board”. It is the Place of Virtual Real Estate Life.
[The Four-eyed Journal] Globe Broadband IP addresses blacklisted by Spamhaus Project: Last month, I recall receiving a phone call from a Globe Broadband representative asking my if I was aware of anti-spamming techniques to protect my computer from attacks.

[Weblog Tools Collection] Comment Spam with more Kung Fu?: Since automattic spamming of blogs has mostly been reduced to a trickle due to the likes of Akismet, spammers are now individually targeting blog posts with highly relevant, and in many cases highly convincing comments. I moderated and subsequently spammed a comment today that was over a hundred words long, on the pros and cons of one of the themes on our daily theme posts.
[Performancing.com - Helping Bloggers Succeed] Pros And Cons Of The URL Field: So, I will be doing an experiment on my own blog where I will remove the URL field from the comment section for the month of October and then report back my findings. If anyone else feels daring, I encourage you to participate in this experiment on your own blog as we can then compare our findings together in a follow up conversation.
[tamebay] The Normal Person’s Guide to WordPress Plugins: The problem with Akismet is the ‘false positive’: comments it thinks are spam, which in fact are legitimate. It’s always worth checking your spam queue for these before deleting it all, but if you have dozens or hundreds of spam comments every day, it becomes impossible.
[Turnip of Power] Combating Comment Spam: I check all blogs linked to in comments. You could write the most beautiful post in the world, but if you link it to a “payday loan site”, your comment gets deleted. Yes, I do make rare exceptions, like when I post about a marketing affiliate and someone from a shady “make money online” blog posts. I’m more lenient when the blog matches the topic. But never think for a moment landing pages or made for AdSense Blogspot blogs are welcome.
[Jeffro2pt0] Time Keeps On Ticking Ticking Ticking”¦: I should of just kept everything under one roof and told people that if they don’t want to read my personal mumbo jumbo, to just subscribe to the categories they were interested in as I see each category being its own blog.
