I want to 'Stop Spam' totally from my blogs.. I moderate comments, almost all filter into spam. Plugins like Akismet just filter it, but you are still getting spam.
It's been 8 days since this post, I have 844 filtered comment/ping spams. With 1000's of banned IP's address already. I want to stop the spam from happening and reduce the 844+ db connections, 844+ hits, 844+ things making me burn a tiny bit more bw, and so on.. I have no idea how many 1000's this would be without the bans in place I have already.
Freaking spam... I don't get it, doesn't letting bots that run wild posting on blogs that don't instant list anything, be just a waste of bandwidth/resources for the spammer?
They have enough resources to go through different proxies by mad levels, but not enough to know they aren't ever getting listed, traffic, links, credit for it, anything?
Even more so when the same bot, is posting the same bs, to the same site, that moderates everything?
Ugg... That's what I mean with comment spam. Even if you filter it, it's still costing you resources and bandwidth.
