How to stop comment spam

Tagged Under : , , , , , , ,

Its been awhile since I last login to blog. Last I did want while playing with WordPress iPhone app on the train. Today I managed to find sometime after a few crazy months to come in and do some spring cleaning.

Guess what, 195 comments that’s the figure I was greeted with since my last login to RyanPham.com. All of which are just spam. This comment spam is quite irritating as it takes up alot of space and time to actually remove them all.

Ok its all my fault for not installing or activating Akismet and other spam plugins. So now, I am here to make it right.Here’s what I did to stop comment spam on wordpress short of changing the default comment page

  • Activate Akismet with my API key
  • Dont allow a set of keywords
  • Close all comments after a set amount of days
  • All comments to be approved by moderator

That’s about what I just did, do you have more to add?

Word of advice, if you are driving there the lots at the side have been removed. So you have to either park at the new shopping mall and walk or pray hard that there is lots on the other side.
