Quick tip for anybody getting spammed

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:

phentermine
ambien
hydrocodone
fioricet
viagra
tramadol
zithromax

and also required that each commenter have a previously approved comment.

Touch wood I’ve been spam free again for nearly a week!
