Comment spam

Comment spam is getting out of control. Most of the time, bloggers just deal with it, or approve their own comments, or develop some method of dealing with it.

I certainly don’t envy the bigger blogs their trouble.

But Akisment has been working well for me so far. I don’t know what method it uses to filter through the comments, but the ones that look like spam get dumped into a queue, like a junk mail folder, for me to look at or delete.

So far, it’s caught 244 spamments and I’m pretty sure it hasn’t caught any real comments (although I guess I don’t know that for sure). Hopefully this is a linked system with other WP blogs, and the more it gets used the more effective it will get.
