[…] Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time I’ve had this problem. Enter Six Apart. When signed up and tested, I couldn’t leave comments on my own brand new TypePad blog (tdavid.typepad.com). This was around Christmas time two years ago and it took a week or so to find out that the reason my comments were being blocked was because makeyougohmm.com was listed on an old spam service. […]

I stopped all my comment spam for my Wordpress blog by using "Comment Bot Nuker". All the other plugins I tried for Wordpress only holds the comment spam from moderation. I tried them all even the "add math" and Askimet. Most all the comment spam you will get is actually from the bots that scour the Internet looking for security breaches. Using Comment Bot Nuker it nukes the comments before it is even held for moeration and lets the good comments through. So there is nothing to moderate. I don't have to go through hundreds of comments held for moderation anymore. I foudn it here:

I work as a Web-Tech at the community college in my area and one of the first tasks I was given when first I started was doing something about the spam coming from our online forms. The program I put together has several tests it makes, but the most effective test was to put a hidden 'comment' textarea on the forms using CSS. In the processing scripts I check the hidden 'comment' area for a value. The idea is that a regular user can't see the hidden textarea, so will not put anything in there. However, a robot does see it and happily fills it out. Using this method has cut the form spam tremendously! The people filling in the form do not have to put in a captcha and the people who receive email from these forms are much happier!

A personal review and monito on comments by the website owner once registered should bring in genuine comments. Spam comment can be reduced by simply giving it some motre time.

Not sure if there is anyway to completely stop comment spam but looks like a step in the right direction.

why not parse all links whit a function similar to this ;)
[code]
function hide_link($mail, $label,$target) {
$chars = preg_split("//", $mail, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
$new_link = " foreach ($chars as $val) {
$new_link .= "&#".ord($val);
}
$new_link .= ($target != "") ? " target=".$target : "";
$new_link .= "\">".$label."";
return $new_link;
}
[/code]
Convert the link address into Unicode values and add the html tag and optional target values.

Isn't it a good idea? why?

I use Wordpress for two websites that I run, and since installing the Spam Karma plugin, I've had absolutely no comment spam find it's way into my comments. I'm quite impressed at how well this plugin has worked. Checking through the logs, I've also noticed that it hasn't captured any legitimate comments either. All in all, a very well written tool for those of us on WP.

With regards to referrer spam, I'm getting hit hard these days. I would venture to guess that about 25-30% of my daily hits in my referrer logs are spam. Something I definitely need to deal with as soon as I get a chance.
