Re: Akismet Spam Prevention
Brandon,
What about a 2 tiered approach, what if you also put in a simple captcha like the math captcha until someone had made 3 or 4 posts, just to slow them down enough to possibly trip up some of it. Or if we think it is actualy humans doing the footwork, install recaptcha, i'm no bot and I still struggle with those sometimes.
Also, it seems we haven't been hit very hard with spam in general the last few days, compared to how much we got at the beginning of the month it seems quiet, the real test will come when we get slammed again.
edit: just saw the other thread. boo, i'm to slow.
