All hail “Spam Karma”!

Posted January 3rd, 2005 at 06:00pm

Well, I wouldn’t have believed it, but Dr Dave’s Spam Karma plugin for WordPress is effectively keeping all the comment spam away. In the past day or two, it’s sent me notifications of 90 spam that it’s killed. Paranoid that I am, I’ve carefully read through each skewered comment to verify that the spams were not actually legitimate posters, and sure enough: each and every one of them was trying to hawk me sexual potency drugs, casino sites, wrinkle cream (!), or easy debt consolidation.

I feel I can heave a sigh of relief. That’s 15 minutes a day, saved right there for more productive matters.
