Had to Turn Spam Protection Back On
Posted by Kirk M on 28 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Blogging
I stated earlier when I loaded in a PDA plugin for viewing the site on your PDA that I had turned off the ‘Math Comment Spam Protection’ plugin which didn’t show up for those using a PDA ergo they could not submit a comment.
Unfortunately another spam comment got through both Akismet and the ‘Simple Trackback Validation’ plugin (not the fault of the plugins, spammers are just getting trickier) which means another bogus external link in my stats. So I had to turn the spam protection for comments back on. Perhaps there will be a work around in the near future that may be applied so those with PDA’s will also be able to comment on blogs using both the ‘WP Mobile’ or WP-PDA and “Math Comment Spam Protection’ plugins at the same time.
Sorry about that. I just hate spam.

Have you had any spam since using the new maths comment plugin?

Here are the latest “spamments” results:
Spam that got through into legitimate comments= 0
Trackback Spam caught and thrown into moderation= 12 (all spam)
Spam found in Akismet= 0 (means “D-Y-P-M?” plugin is working so far)
Looks good so far. Between the Math, the Validator and Akismet nothing got through (yet).
So far so good. And no “Contact Form” spam either.
