WP-SpamFree Plugin
December 22nd, 2007 @ 3:47 PM in Web StuffsThe WP-SpamFree plugin for WordPress seems to be much better than Akismet at blocking spam bots. It uses a simple method to block automated scripts (bots); i.e., it uses a combination of cookies and JavaScript to detect them. I installed it just last night, and I received only one comment spam so far which Akismet caught. So it looks like it’s working fairly well.

Ooh!! I shall check this out when I get back from Montreal. Akismet has been doing well so far but lately I have been receiving some spam at Miss.IvyTan.Net (not that it matters anymore).
Thanks for the tip!

It doesn’t work for trackbacks and pingbacks, though, because they are sent from other sites without touching the comments page.
