Today I saw two spam comments on this website, that pointed to some adult website.
This is very very cheap behavior and I clearly do not want that to happen to my website.
Now I am enabling the comment moderation, so it should get approved by me before it appear on the page.
So if your comments do not appear immediately, then please do not post it again. It will appear once it is approved by me.
There is no other way for me atleast for now.
Update 1 :

Found a fix for the Comment Spam problem, from the WordPress support forums, and the moderation is not in effect now, just to check if the fix really works.
This happened to my blog too (casino spam) and I had to ativate moderation too, but after a faew days, I do not receive them anymore. Hopes this will happen not often.
Tuomas (aka tigert) had some spams to in his moderation area.
It seems it’s a growing activity of spammers :(.
The same thing happened to me too. I used to use Movable Type, but the comment spamming got completely out of hand. That´s one of the reasons why I migrated to Wordpress, because it offers comment moderation. Not just that, but the rebuilds in MT are quite annoying too. Anyway, besides comment moderation, there´s also a plugin to avoid comment spam for Wordpress, but I can´t remember where you can get it from. Additionally, I have blocked some IPs on the server level. It´s such a shame that we have to deal with comment spam, as if having the regular email spam was not enough…
Hi,
we’ve bin hit bei hundreds of Spam-Comments 8-) Since we use the Three Strikes Spam Protection Plugin everything is wonderful 8-)
You can find it here
One of my MT blogs got bombarded over the weekend by a determine trackback spammer. It worked for a short while until I noticed what was happening and set MT-Blacklist to work. Then I got to laugh at a long list of rejected attempts.
There are lots of reasons to switch away from MT, but thanks to Jay Allen, I don’t consider spam to be one of them.
true true… tis the scourge of blogdom…. however I have found very successful solutions (at least until they write scripts to bypass it) I use WP, and “discussions” handle comment spam quite well, at least putting the comments in moderation, however for spam stoppage you can use image authorization. One for Wordpress can be found here authimage
these require a commenter to enter an numeric digit string generated randomly from img files.
and by far the best protection for MoveableType is scode
Since installing scode on two of my clients sites using MT it has been flawless in stopping spam. I had previously been using Blacklist but it takes too much maintenance updating the list and despamming, scode stops it before it gets to your blog.
I use the Spam Karma 2 plugin, and I’ve never seen any kind of comment spam. I have, however, laughed at the numerous attempts to spam me out, and Spam Karma’s relentless slaughtering of said comments.
Looking for information and found it at this great site…
Nice webpage, lovely, cool design. Visit my sites, please:
