When I started enabling Akismet plugin in this blog, it worked great. Shortly it caught 5000+ spam.
However, in the last few days, I noticed that spam has managed to pass through Akismet, and it’s getting worse by every day.
Today there are 12 of them.
Coupled with Akismet’s false-positive problem, I think my best option is to use a strong captcha (weak ones has been confirmed as useless now).
Suggestions?
baru ngeh kalo udah pindah ke wordpress. anyway, kalo pake akismet, artinya ya tergantung sama respon user lain ke database akismet (data poisoning). gue perhatiin juga pingback dan trackback masih dimatiin, takut kena spam dari sini juga ya? coba pake spam karma 2, gue pake ini, dan walaupun gue buka comment, ping back dan trackback, SK2 bekerja dengan sangat baik, paling cuma pernah kebobolan 2 kali sejak gue pake.
ryosaeba – spam karma 2 looks sweet. I especially like the fact that it employs multi-layered spam filtering method.
I still need to move this blog to its final resting place.. err, server. Once its there, then I’ll install spam karma 2.
Thanks for the heads up.
Saya juga punya pengalaman serupa dengan Akismet. Masih bingung juga tentang bagaimana mengatasi spam dengan benar-benar efektif. 🙁
