3 Spam Comments!
I normally login to my admin site to find “Spam: 3,472” comments (or some such other high and random number!!).
Confession time. I broke my blog last week whilst doing an upgrade (trying to auto-upgrade post suPHP being activated may have been a mistake) and it forced me to audit my plugins.
I’ve always like the idea of Akismet, group filtering etc. However I spotted some of the comments over at the WP-SpamFree plugin page and decided I’d got nothing to lose (other than a lot of time wasted looking at comment spam!
Installed earlier in the week and 3 days later I have JUST 3 Spam comments…

I’ve followed your advice and am giving this plugin a go. Spam is not a huge problem for me at the moment, my traffic is quite low. False positives are a problem though and this plugin claims that it solves that. I’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the tip.
