I’ve been getting increasing amounts of linkspam to this blog; since I’ve never had direct-to-publish commenting enabled, I’ve only gotten it in my inbox, but it is still a hassle to go manually clear that out every time.
Enter akism…

It’s set to only do the Akismet check if it falls below a certain threshhold of “spamminess” (i.e. it skips the obvious spam and only checks the questionable ones). This keeps most of my spam filtering “in house” and avoids hammering the Akismet server more than necessary.

So far it’s worked like a charm. I rarely even get spams in the moderation queue, and can’t remember the last time one actually got though. Nice. :)

An anti-spam solution that stands out above the others is Akismet, produced by Automattic, the people who develop WordPress. Akismet is an anti-spam system that consists of a WordPress plugin, and a centralized service, through which comments are filtered. The heuristics employed by Akismet are unpublished, but our blackbox evaluation has shown the system to be very effective.

One of the main reasons I left MT was because of all the spam I got hit with once MT-Blacklist reached it’s threshold. Once I moved the blog over to WordPress and installed Akismet it has been a DREAM. YAY!!!
