Just moderated some comments and noticed that Akismet has caught over 100,000 spam since I first installed it (September 2006). Together with WordVerify, which narrowed down the comment spam from over 1,000 per day to only a few per day, I’m glad I can rely on those 2 plugins to make my (internet) life more pleasant! Any other plugins you suggest to ditch out the last few spam comments? Maybe I need to install reCAPTCHA?
FYI: Today (2 weeks later) spamcount has increased with 10,000 … it’s the season to be jolly, right?
