Quick tip for anybody getting spammed

// April 19th, 2007 // Tech

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!

    I’ve noticed a few getting through on DtR, none recently though. Fingers crossed, AtB seems to be spam free!
