It has its pros and cons. When posting we dont always want to write long intensive posts and for this reason we can get listed when in actual fact we are honest regular bloggers. I dont own a blog and have heard that spam is a big problem, so I guess I understand. Thanks.

Akismet has its ups and downs. Somebody can ban you from another blog and all your comments could be rejected somewhere else:sad:

Thanks Dennis, Its the only spam filter I use as well. Myself I hate the captcha things but they do work very well.

it should also be stated that one MUST check the spam caught by Akismet semi-regularly…..it DOES accidentally catch legit comments from time time

Great tutorial Collin, very thorough.

I read at least once a week how Akismet sucks for this or that person, blah blah blah. Then they list 157 plugins that are better…bah!

Personally I love it and it’s the only spam plugin I use…although I’ve been considering a captcha to round it out.
