Comment on WordPress Comment SPAM by SEO Dave.
It’s a bit disconcerting logging into a WordPress blog and finding no comment SPAM after years of expecting new comment SPAM hourly: I’ve had times where between “clicking Empty SPAM >> WordPress Deleting the SPAM >> WordPress loading the SPAM folder page” dozens of new SPAM comments have already been added to the database!
Early days, but the new Stallion Responsive 8.1 SPAM filters appear to have stopped all SPAM, just have to get used to not thinking WordPress comments are broken because I have no SPAM :-)
This site received up to 1,000 SPAM comments a day, just have to wait for some to get through to check why so I have something to analyze.
