Hey Kristi,

Akismet has always worked well for me, so I can’t really answer why your preferred commenters would be placed in the spam folder. For some reason I get a lot of messages with random strings of numbers and letters that have no meaning whatsoever. I’m not really sure why someone would send out something like that. The only solution I’ve come across is taking the time to check the spam folder for quality comments that have been sent there. Let us know if you come upon a solution.

I’ve been using akismet with Wp spam free and the combination seems to work excellently well. I’m yet to get an email from a reader complaining about comments not showing up . With the 2 plug-ins activated, i now moderate fewer spam comments than before

Askimet is definitely the best option out there but you will find some spam still gets through. The only real issue I have found with askimet is that it tends to block pingbacks, not all but a lot of them, part from that it’s solid.

Askimet never blocked a good comment on my blog. It always blocks spam and nothing else. Besides, even if it does capture good comments, you still can allow them to pass through.

All in all, thank god that askimet was invented. I hate spam with a passion!

Cheers,
Johnny

The article is full of information. My comment is that Akismet is a Wordpress plugin that comes default with every installation. Akismet is a real-time adaptive spam filter which scans all incoming comments and helps you automatically filter spam comments by stopping them at their source. … Be careful with the word lists offered in Comment Moderation and Comment Blacklist. If you were to type the word “ass” it would block the word assistance or assume. Wordpress offers a list of words you may use in the Comment Moderation .

I used to use Akismet but found a much more particle solution.
I am currently using AntiSpamBee which is working great for me.

I have Akismet on my free hosted blog and it works very well. I scan all the comments the filter catches and rarely find false positives. On my self hosted wordpress install on my domain I use Defensio and it’s equally as good. IMO there will never be a perfect spam filter simply because we aren’t perfect.

Hi Kristi,
I have to agree with you that spam is sooo annoying. I’ve always used akismet. I tried wp-spam free plugin but it grabbed some real commenters too so I deleted the plugin. When I start to get hundreds of comments each day I might go back to using wp spam free again.
