Over the last 4 months or so, I have gotten about 2 comment spams total on my blog. This is down from about 5 per day with Akismet and a number of other anti-spam measures. I am very happy with this solution. Here is how:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I installed NoSpamNX<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. I set NoSpamNX to Match Substrings “http:\/\/” and “https:\/\/”<\/li>\n
  3. I put a note in my comment file telling users “Do not write “http:\/\/” in your comment, it will be blocked.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Done!<\/p>\n

    Real users figure out that they can write things like “lee.org” instead of “http:\/\/lee.org”. When comments come in, I go in and manually edit valid links. I’m fine with that because I want to review any links anyway before allowing it on my site.<\/p>\n
