I’d noticed some spam comments slipping through the otherwise tight net provided by Akismet, only a couple a day but enough to get annoying.
So I dropped the links required for moderation to 1, added the following to my blacklist:

hydrocodone
fioricet
viagra
tramadol
zithromax

Quick tip for anybody getting spammed

Back from Bristol
A cracking weekend had by all … or at the very least, a cracking weekend had by me.
It was a semi work / semi fun trip (the work side of things is very exciting but if I tell you about it I’d have to kill you) with the fun side consisting of relaxing, playing [...]
