Hello all,
Since many of you run Wordpress blogs, which spam filters can you recommend to keep unwanted comments away?
I tried a few different ones, but I still ended up with lots of spam to moderate, so I turned the comments off. Although I would like to have a comment function on my blog. What are your suggestions?
Akismet is the usual go to, but I also combine it with a honeypot system:
ie a captcha system that requires the user leave the field empty. It’s hidden with css so that all spambots see it, try and fill it in and fail the test.
I use disqus and I’ve never had a problem with spam. I only have a very low traffic blog, but I do see quite a lot of high traffic sites using it.
I used Akismet and it worked well but I had to go and empty the spam marked comments once in a while, later I switched to reCAPTCHA and Hurray no spam at all.
