Spammers evolve slowly. They were mud, now they are dirt. It’s a slow evolution.<\/p>\n
NoSpamNX has been working well but nowadays it blocks 300 spams a day and lets through maybe 30. They all get caught by Akismet but Akismet also sometimes blocks legitimate commnets. 30 a day is too many for me to review by hand. :-(<\/p>\n
So I installed Spam Free WordPress<\/a> alongside the already installed NoSpamNX<\/a> and Akismet. Hopefully it will keep it so the “gray list” of potential spams is small enough that I can review them by hand.<\/p>\n This new plugin uses an odd form of Captcha. It asks you to copy and paste a password. Please tell me if it gets in the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spammers evolve slowly. They were mud, now they are dirt.
