Dealing with “Intelligent” Spam in wordpress
Like Many others I don’t use any SPAM filter for my blog due to this I get 70+ spams every day PLUS valid comments. The reason I don’t use SPAM softwares because they at one time stopped spams but they allowed valid human enteries. I want to moderate every comment(human+non human). I used some spam filters like “askmit”(sp??) and others but they didn’t stop valid human comments. Maybe I was not able to manage it or what but I got irritated and disable all such spam filters. Now I remove them manually. Now spam content is gettin intelligent day by day. Sometimes I get comment content so real that it takes few second to figure out whether it was a real comment or not. Like I often get spam comments as “I just came across your website and it was very informative for me. Thanks”. Now How do i sense such comment is SPAM is by reading URL in profile of the “person” which most of time wouldbe INSURANCE or VIAGRA.
How do you guys deal with such spam mania. Do guide me!
