And the server you spammed in on

I realize I’m tempting fate just by posting this. But I have to gloat.

This site has officially been spam-free for a month.

That’s right - no comment spam, no referer spam, no spam eggs sausage and spam, no spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam and spam…

Sorry. Bloody vikings. At any rate, I have two completely invaluable tools to thank for this happy state of affairs: Spam Karma 2.0 and Referer Karma, both created by Dr. Dave. If you use Wordpress, absolutely MUST install these two utilities at your earliest convenience - this means you, Tommy. When I first installed it, I used to get near daily e-mails telling me what spammers had attempted to post on my site. It caught them, and saved them for me to peruse at my leisure, so I could decide whether to keep them or dump them.

I say used to, because it occurred to me today that I hadn’t seen one of these emails in a while. So, I went to double check, and sure enough, I haven’t had any commenters get through in 30 days. After all my recent issues in dealing with these losers, I like knowing I’ve scored one in the “win” column. So, grab it, use it, love it. You won’t be sorry.

    I am getting nailed with Spam on my website mails and in our blog website - now its offline too much spam. Is there anyway to stop this? If not, there really isn’t any point in leaving it up and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for help, Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland
