What is 2+3?
This might be one of the questions you get when you leave a comment to one of my posts. I reinstated the “did you pass math” plug-in to try and put an end to the hundreds of spam comments that I’ve been getting these past couple of months. My “Akismet Spam” has been catching them all but there are still several hundred that I have to wade through to make sure a legitimate comment didn’t get caught. So over the weekend, I turned on my next line of defense and waited. Today, instead of a few hundred spam comments, I found 67 waiting for me. Several of them had the same URLs and text but different IP addresses and websites. Are there that many people that have so little to do that they can sit around all day and send out spam? Does anyone have any better suggestions?

It is the do follow list. All you can do is what you are doing.
I would be glad if someone has an other good idea. But I don’t understand what the do-follow-movement has to do with spamming?!
CyberCelt: I’m going to have to research this one. It is a shame that a great idea as the “do-follow list” has idiots taking advantage of it.
Eliot: I agree. As soon as I come up with an answer as to the how, why and what to do about it, I will post it here.
Hi,
Its (spam) a very common problem in every blogs.Eliot, i am awaiting for your valuable results at the end of the research.
