Nasty Spam on WordPress Comment box

Posted By Raymond In Category: Computer

I’ve been getting more than 50 spams per day on my comment box even I have Bad Behavior v1.2.4 installed.
This is irritating since I need to waste my time deleting those spam comments.
I went to Bad Behavior‘s website to see if there’s a new version to block these spammers but the version is still 1.2.4.
I currently have no choice but to install another anti spam plugin Spam Karma v2.1 r2 to run simultaneously with Bad Behavior v1.2.4. Some people reported that they don’t get a single spam after installing and running both anti spam plugin.
According to Spam Karma news, it seems that there is a new breed of spam which uses new technique to bypass anti spam plugin to spam on wordpress comment box.
Will see how it goes and now I am

By the way, if you are unable to post comments, please let me know so I can check it out.

      Actually I have blogged repeatedly about this. Bad Behaviour quoting directly from Mike (creator of BB) at one point is meant to be the “First line of defense against spam comments”. It’s meant to get rid of spam bots and it works quite well. But, it does not get rid of manual spam which is probably where the other spam is coming from. Hence ther other last line spam filters like Spam Karma or Akismet. They work hand in hand.

      What Kamigoroshi said.

      The principle is called defense in depth, and it’s a fairly well known military tactic which adapts well to most any situation in which you need protection from something.

      I provide one aspect of that defense; the other is up to you. Either Spam Karma 2 or Akismet (a small part of which I wrote) is a good bet.

      I also note that development of Bad Behavior has been suspended indefinitely, and it would have been hard to miss the big yellow box if you had actually come to the Bad Behavior page, which, if you click on it, explains the reasons why, and what you can do to help.
