This is why Askismet Rocks For Spam Filtering

Gotta be one of the best Wordpress plugins ever. This is the reason why anonymous, unverified comments are enabled on this blog, and why you aren’t overrun with ads for viagra, anti-depressants, and links to porn sites.

    my friend commented on my blog and it was marked as spam. I don’t hate it cause no one wants to comment on my blog anyway. >_>

    @b4dboyz- Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good. I’ve had a couple of false positives where legit comments ended up in the spam filter, so I still need to trawl through it every day or two to check the marked comments and recoverer and accidents, but once you demark them, and report the exceptions back to Akismet it gets better each time. I’d rather have maybe comments end up marked as spam than ended up in the public comments list.

    @Susan - OMG THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT OFFER? WHERE DO I SIGN UP AND SEND MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER PLS?

    Is that the same Susan who CP sold out to? I guess CP will become a sort of tf2/porn podcast hybrid.

    @DF7 Does that mean we’ll listen to an hour of the guys getting it on while they talk about TF2? O_o

    So is this TF2 related or just an advert for askismet?

    @Junior Master nah, nothing to do with TF2. Was just a minor milestone for this site. I’ve been happy with the fact that it keeps the comments pretty spam free for the most part.
