Spam eaters

When Slacker Manager was on Typepad, I had a bit of a spam problem. A fair bit of spam got through and that always bugged me because I couldn’t sleep at night if I just let it sit there. Had to go and delete it. The problem was off and on…sometimes there’d be nothing and other times I was swamped. The swamped times were really a drag.

This version of Slacker Manager uses Spam Karma 2 and the Akismet plugin. Spam Karma by itself is very effective. I saw just a fraction of the spam that hit the blog. When I added the Akismet plugin, even that little bit of spam stopped getting through. It’s amazing–like flypaper for spam. Good stuff. (now watch something get through on this post…)
