spammers are going nuts1 min read

i hope i did not accidentally delete any real comments these last days, but i have been literally swamped with spam.

some spammer has been going nuts on my blog. i had to delete 17500 spam comments in the last 24 hours. O_o_

so for now i had to introduce a captcha, sorry about that, i hate them as much as the next guy.

  1. Ist Aksimet oder SpamKarma im Einsatz? Beide blocken realtiv zuverlässig auch ohne captchas, cuz captchas are evil !!1!eleven (obwohl deine noch zu den lesbaren gehören)

  2. Try Akismet — it’s caught more than 68,000 bad comments since I installed it, and it’s never killed anything good — it just puts them into a questionable queue for review.

    Also — your captcha could work better — the error message is vague and back-ing up lost my original comment post. Could the captcha be more prominent?

  3. i do have akismet installed and within 24 hours i had 790 spam comments in my approval cue = simply too much to skim through. so please bare with this lousy captcha just for a few days, please. hopefully the spammers will go away or get arrested in the meantime.
