Akismet is really good but I think bloggers should also manually check their blog for spam free.

Thanks David, I’ll have to look into that. I’ve noticed that Askimet is letting a lot of comment spam through lately. It doesn’t make it completely through but it is causing me a lot of extra moderation work. Askimet should look into IP addresses as a clue on who is spamming. If the same IP address comments ten times in a few minutes is’s certanly a spam bot.

Askimet is a very good way to stop automated spam, but I found it was better to just move the form over to AJAX. You just use JS to post the form instead – not had any spam in months

Hi David. It doesn’t really stop spam but is it finding the comment spam and putting it into the ‘Akismet Spam’ section? I don’t think there’s a way to really stop blog spam. I am going to start banning IP address and see if that helps keep some of the returning offenders from coming back.
