For anyone that’s been on the edge of your seats wondering how my spam turf-war was going, things are back to normal I guess. Akismet seems to be grabbing the majority of everything, with Spam Karma 2 filling in the gaps.
My only problem (and I use the word “only” loosely) is that I don’t have enough people commenting with legitimate stuff to say to test things out.
So, unless you’re interested in telling me about phentermine, penile dysfunction/erection/growth, the lastest news in Paris Hilton’s life, or HerbaLife for that matter. LEAVE ME A COMMENT.
If you leave a comment and don’t get a response let me know. I want to make sure that my two bouncers aren’t mislabeling things.
And for anyone counting:
- Spam Karma 2 <> Total Spam Caught: 6989 (average karma: -60498.25)
- Akismet <> Akismet has caught 23,993 spam for you since you installed it
- Legitimate Comments <> 120

How did you know I was sitting on the edge of my seat? These are exciting times. You are getting slammed, I get a four or five hundred over a month's time and you are getting thousands. You must be doing something right, that's for sure. If your site wasn't being seen or read, you probably wouldn't be getting hit like you are.
For the record, my site is down today, due to a move to a new server, I'm getting some kind of database error but haven't had a chance to look into it yet. I guess that's one way to stop the spam is take the site down completely, although I think your approach is better!
Have a great one, man!

This is almost as exciting as the ten-part series I plan on launching this summer: Jason v. Crabgrass. It's a lot like Godzilla v. Mothra, only it's me and some weeds.
