There is NOTHING i hate more than comment spam. E-mail spam is a pain in the ass but comment spam I just find stupid and intrusive.

So, here are my suggestions.

There are sooooooooo many ways to deal with spam with wordpress — you can install plugins, you can use broad spectrum spam eliminators after you have too many comments to deal with AND — MY FAVORITE — you can blacklist.

Since I have never and will never be blogging about prescription drugs and all the other RETARDED things that are constantly spammed — I pick those words to blacklist. Careful with blacklisting everything because if you blacklisted say BLACK — you would get rid of everything like blackjack and blackboard and blacklist…. etc. I have blacklisted blackjack because again, I won’t be blogging about gambling so it should never come up in a comment other than spam.

You will find you blacklist at the bottom of the SETTINGS — DISCUSSION section and trust me — it is WORTH IT. DO it once a week for a month or so and watch your comment spam take a nosedive.

YAY for KILLING STUPID SPAM — If only there was a way to send the spammer a little zap through the keyboard — lol
